Christophe de Callatay - Oil paintings
Why am I painting? Probably to enchant the world. To embellish it perhaps, faling to make it better.
I would like to follow in the footsteps of the great primitive image-makers and the countless anonymous artists who have built up temples and honored their deities since the dawn of times.
As a self-taught artist, I do not belong to any painting school. Since my childhood, I am developing my own artistic style and picturesque universe, populated by imaginary animals and myhtological creatures.
Above all, I enjoy exploring the 'power of colours'. I am fascinated by their harmony and contrast, the way they mix, blend and complement each other.
I apply colour-saturated brushstrokes onto the canvas and aim to make them vibrate and inspire with as much intensity as I can.
