"A great burst of light and passion, a language of quite unusual force". (Michel Roquebert)
Installed since the 60s in the Catalan hinterland, Michel No discovered drawing very young, he entered at the age of 18 in printing and engraving workshops in Paris where he made decisive encounters: Giacometti, Mas Ernst, Caesar...
From 1959 to 1961, he discovered North Africa and the magic of the colors of the desert landscapes, then stayed in Catalonia where he rediscovered the Mediterranean light.
Michel No's painting is full of sun and colors, it is a kind of echo of nature always in motion. A real sincerity emanates from his works. He describes his creative work as follows: “I like the notion of pleasure and joy in painting. I don't have a complicated mind, if I can convey some of that joy and strength. »
