Renaissance workshop - Clovis-Alexandre Desvarieux

After a short guided tour of Presage, participants will create a series of drawing-paintings inspired by the themes explored in the artist’s works (nature, personal and collective imagination). The workshop will focus on the theme of personal or collective rebirth, as perceived by the participants. Bright colors and various types of contrasts will be emphasized.
