François DIMECH

Born in Cotentin in 1949. Works in Paris and in the Haut Var.

      First stay in Greece on the island of Aegina, determining for the work to come; paintings and drawings. Obtained a workshop from the city of Paris, first works of plaster luminaries. With the years, one ends up understanding better the importance of what was for me this revelation: Greece.

     From this first contact with the country more than forty years ago, I kept this dazzle among these warm stones, its centenary olive trees and the sea a little lower down... I understood then that I belonged to this Mediterranean world. The olive trees, the lampadophores, all the sanctuaries and figures, the Rames of Ulysses.
