Born in Aix en Provence. Jacques created his first oil painting at the age of 8.
He followed the classical realist movement until he discovered the work of The Impressionists this turning point led him to experiment with vivid colours, intensely textured canvases and a freedom of expression that brings a sense of joy and movement to his paintings. The French Fauve Expressionist movements were a formative influence on his works.
His palette is incredibly vibrant, and his application of oils and acrylics is as striking as their colours.
Jacques list of exhibitions is extensive having exhibited throughout France . His work is collected throughout the USA and London.
