Impressionist painter of the Mediterranean basin — from Andalusia to the Italian shores, light captured en plein air.
Jean-Jacques G.
Painted en plein air
Portrait
An impressionist painter in his sixties, JJG has been travelling the Mediterranean basin for decades.
From Andalusia to the Italian shores, he paints outdoors, in the moment — chasing the low morning light, the deep blue of open water, the harbours where sea and sky answer each other.

A journey between two shores
Andalusia
The early outdoor years, on the harbours of Almería — the low morning light on the water.
Côte d'Azur
Collioure, Saint-Tropez — the boats, the coves, the palette turning lighter.
Italy
Portofino, the Bay of Naples — the deep blue, the cliffs plunging into the sea.
