The painter Kérozen
Kérozen lives and works in Arpino in Italy. In the ‘70s, he studied drawing at the experimental artistic high
school of Sèvres-Ville d’Avray, near Paris, where one of his teachers made him particularly sensitive to the
work of Leonardo da Vinci, and then graphics at the “Ecole Corvisart” of Paris. In 1989, he decided to
dedicate himself exclusively to painting. He has been working for about fifteen years on the theme of the
Mona Lisa. He has participated in numerous exhibitions in Italy (Rome, Milan, Florence, Vinci in Tuscany...),
in France (Paris, Cholet, Amboise, Saint Gervais …) as well as in Scotland, the Netherlands, Burkina Faso and
Taiwan.
Today, he draws his inspiration from his life in the countryside of Arpino, to the South of Rome, where he
works in his studio surrounded by olive trees and aims to express his “joie de vivre”. His pleasure in painting
shows itself in the wide range of his styles and modes of expression, in the liveliness of his colours, which
explode in his paintings, and in their themes, full of serenity and humanity.
He created paintings on the theme of the four seasons, always so coloured, that you can discover in short
videos (see page Videos).
Since 2016, Kérozen also works in France, in Nantes, where he has painted large paintings inspired by
emblematic places of the city or by the artists who inspire him, to whom he paid tribute during a series of
exhibitions in 2019 “Sur le chemin des peintres”.
