Thierry Miramon is a figurative painter with an exceptional sense of observation. His paintings incorporate scenes of everyday life – crowd, the animated settings found in cafes, concert halls and bull fighting arenas. From these moments, he highlights the tender, the amusing, the positive. He uses mainly primary colours in his playful and mischievous work.
