François Chevalier

Trained as a geological engineer, François Chevalier is a self-taught artist whose practice centers on hyperrealist painting, often employing chiaroscuro to emphasize light and shadow. His works aim to capture resonant moments from life and communicate ideas in a manner that draws on the tradition of symbolism, at times incorporating imagined scenes. In addition to painting, Chevalier works with stone sculpture, shaping figures from natural forms and giving space to his imagination.
