Jean-Marc JANIACZYK is a French self-taught painter, born on December 18, 1966, since his childhood he draws, in 1991, he begins to paint. Many years of drawing gave him a solid foundation in drawing.
After trying watercolours, pastels, acrylics and oil paints, he finally settled on colors to oils, for their suppleness, smoothness and long drying time.
The first paintings are only clumsy attempts, but very quickly he learns the technique of oil painting alone, by observing, and by representing exactly what he sees. Which leads him to a difficult technique: hyperrealism.
Having always been attracted to landscape painting, he painted landscapes, and it was in 1999, for the first time, that he uses a palette knife to give volume to a few flowers.
He is impressed by the rendering of this technique and since he paints exclusively with a palette knife, a very colorful nature.
He likes to paint landscapes of the south of France, where the sunlight is intense, where the colors are bright and the contrasts strong. Sometimes he also likes to paint characters or portraits.
