Yves Sancier at Artists at the Howard Centre
I am a self-taught part-time oil, ink, and watercolour artist. Born in Brittany, France, I moved to Hertfordshire to complete my studies at the University of Hertfordshire, and now live and paint in Welwyn Garden City. I have always enjoyed drawing since a child and the enjoyment has not faltered over the years. I started with oil painting but recently started to explore ink and watercolour painting to widen my skills and creative experience.
My mostly figurative work takes inspiration from urban or rural landscapes, with a predilection for trees and vegetation in a detailed way that tends to abstraction. Surrealism and dreams are great inspiration in my work. My work was recently Highly Commended by the judges at the Courtyard Arts’17th and 19th Open Exhibition in Hertford.
I recently had a 2 months solo exhibition in the French Consulate in Kensington.
I also have a passion for travelling and always record each trip in my sketchbooks.
I am really excited to be able to show a great variety of my work as part of this Open Studios, many will be shown for the first time.
