About the Artist

Born in 1981 in Orléans, France, Benoît Havard began drawing and painting at the age of six. As a child, his mother used to take him to art galleries and museums where he was drawn to energetic works, such as those by the French landscape painter Michel Jouenne. In 1998, he enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts de Cherbourg, where Lejeune and Valadié became his teachers.
