Carré à la farine - Exhibition of Paintings by Dominique Leonard

Cultural

Personal works on the theme of automobiles and urban landscapes in various media, from acrylic to oil painting and watercolor.

From a very young age, I dreamed of drawing, and being a huge motorsport fan, I managed to combine these two passions by becoming an automotive stylist, a role I've held for over thirty years at PSA, now Stellantis. Alongside this, I've always maintained a strong focus on painting and watercolor.
My approach is akin to a very figurative style of painting, sometimes even hyperrealistic. But not only that! I'm primarily drawn to the emotion that the initial drawing evokes, and I try to translate my current emotions by transforming them into colors and forms that are more or less realistic and more or less spontaneous. I take particular care to evoke emotion, whether it's conveyed through watercolor, acrylic, or, more recently, oil painting.

I'm a true enthusiast, always ready to take on the blank canvas!
