Discover the contemporary work of Claude de Bretizel

Born in 1958 in the light-filled lands of Libya, Claude de Bretizel chose, after forty years dedicated to architecture, to pursue his passion for art.

The vibrant palettes of the countries he traveled, the gentle roughness of the stones of the Nice hinterland, and the vibrant glare of the Parisian lights nourished his vision and forged his creative soul.

Recently, he has been captivated by the magic of pastel, this tender and vibrant medium, where each gesture becomes an exploration of color, a celebration of landscapes, and a quest for forms suspended between dream and reality. His works capture the pulsation of hues and the breathing of horizons, like so many moments captured in their pure intensity.

A student of artists Karine Garcia in Paris and Jean-Théobald Jacus in Peillon, Claude de Bretizel now thrives in the inspiring calm of the Perche Vendôme region. There, in the heart of this peaceful nature, he refined his art as a pastel artist, infusing his creations with the brilliance of emotions and the colorful poetry of fleeting moments.
