Painting by Richard Burlet

World famous artist Richard Burlet was born in France in 1957. He is influenced by Austrian symbolist painter Gustav Klimt and Art Nouveau. Richard Burlet received his artistic education, first in Nice, in the School of Fine Arts, and then in 1977 he was admitted to the prestigious Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux Arts in Paris. It is believed that his work is also influenced by the Viennese school of painting. Richard Burlet works in oils, gold and silver leaf. Penetrating eyes of his women represent goddesses in an enchanting and romantic paradise painted in bright colors. The rich palette of colors, mostly red and purple, creates a background contrast for the delicate female portraits. From this point, paintings by Burlet have classic psychedelic nature typical for 1960s art and design. Applied 24-karat gold and silver leafing gives the canvas texture and divine light, that no other color can compete with. The colors in paintings by a unique master intertwine with collage to create both mood and a multidimensional surface.
