Pierre Bonnefille

Biography

Pierre Bonnefille is a French abstract painter and designer with a unique and poetic aesthetics. He owns the title “Maître d’art” from the French Ministry of Culture, rewarding his artistic savoir-faire. The work of this true pictorial explorer is inseparable from the triptych : materials, colours and light.

 

The artist creates his own basic materials, textures and tools, mainly from natural compounds: minerals, metals, sediments, marble, pigments and powders of all kinds. He enjoys exploring the world for inspiration, devoting attention to the details that convey emotion. Reflections, nuances of colours and natural harmonies are found in his polychromic canvases, giving the illusion of a quiet movement changing under the effect of light. Likewise, architectural volumes of cities such as Venice, Pompeii or Kyoto influence his series and creations. The artist’s complete know-how allows him to lead large-scale projects, constantly juggling between contemporary art and interior design. He is keen on developing immersive and sensorial environments and atmospheres, such as with his Meditation Room or with the renovation of Caisse des Dépôts et Consignation, an institutional building in Paris.
