Discover the contemporary work of Jacques Donatien

Fifty-five years of creation which over time allowed me to delve deeper into drawing, painting, sculpture, theater decor and writing. To date,  painting and writing are my two creative aids.

My painting speaks to; the soul rather than the mind. The story she tells is linked to the to divine energies rather than to the visual, concrete, solid material.

When I paint I feel in connection with the invisible, the impalpable which vibrates in and around me. I hesitated for a long time. à accept this state, forcing me to stick stones on my canvases as if to connect me to the world; the material, weak bond necessary to an era. To keep me from venturing there where I sail from now on. In peace. Expressing some reflections of this beautiful and deep energy which animates the living.
