Patrick Ciranna is one of France’s most gifted artists and his work enjoys phenomenal success worldwide. His painting, although seemingly simple, are derived from a technique and understanding developed over nearly 30 years and recently recognised by an international award. Patrick’s paintings are often emphasised by gorgeously thick brush strokes produced from ready-made mixture of highly coloured acrylics lovingly spread over a large canvas. He is able to portray the depth of feeling normally shared not only by young lovers, but also parent and child and even distant figures by the sea.
