Jean-Paul Donadini

Jean-Paul Donadini is a French painter who was born in Troyes, France, in 1951.

He works and lives in Paris.

He graduated from the Ecoles de Beaux Arts of Troyes in 1971, of Nancy in 1973 and of Paris in 1976.

Donadini redefines the very essence of the still life painting, showing an incredible technical mastery. His paintings appear highly pertinent interpretations of his abstract reveries, conveying different meanings according to the varying subjects. We can notice the grace of the shapes, the brightness of colors, as well as a sense of eternity, conveyed by a magnetic power of attraction.

Donadini draws inspiration from the beauty of this world, so ephemeral and fragile. The viewer’s eye is at the same time deceived and invited to take part in the act of creation.

Donadini has organized several personal exhibitions in France and abroad, particularly in London, New York, Miami, Chicago, Istanbul, Dubai, Seoul, Singapore, Hong-Kong, and Paris.
