Dimitri is a self-taught French-Tahitian artist. He has been painting for more than 20 years.
Originally inspired by the aboriginal Australian culture, he has refined the technique of acrylic textured strongly influenced by his travels, love of children, ocean, animals, and nature, and after years of practice definitely developed his own style he called later as Raw Pop Art. His canvases have wings, his paintings are carrier pigeons. They fly the characters across the world, spreading their messages like Antoine de Saint-Exupéry’s Aéropostale.
Becoming an artist was not a conscious decision. It was no choice at all. Life chose for me, and I am forever grateful to her, said Dimitri. With his insatiable hunger for freedom, it was the best calling, because who is more emancipated than an artist?
Now, painting that freedom on a canvas, that is the real challenge. The challenge of a lifetime.
Still feeling like a child at heart, Dimitri easily plays with colors, shapes, and structures, creating unique and one-of-a-kind works of art. Working with mixed media, acrylic, and collages, his paintings are full of colors, emotions, and happiness. He prefers medium and large works of art, but also have series made on small canvases and works on paper.
