Dear Mr.Alain Bazard, when did you start painting?
When I was six I wanted to be a drawer and at the age of ten I started oil painting from nature on canvas.
Did you have a Mentor at the beginning ?
At the age of 13, I attended several reputable painting academies in Montparnasse with the impressionist artist Gustave CORLIN and Henri GOETZ, an abstract surrealist. They were my mentors. I also attended the Louvre museum to prepare for the fine arts competition.
How do you describe your Art ?
Art is part of human nature, it evolves through civilizations and illustrates their specificity allowing us to visually travel in time up to the prehistoric period.
You are recognized as a Orientalist.
What makes the oriental world so much attractive for you as Artist and have you been influenced by its exotic charm ?
After an Impressionist and Expressionist period from 1970 to 1980, I had an orientalist period influenced by Delacroix, Ingres and Gerôme. My attraction to the oriental world was the result of my first trip to Morocco with its light and colorful characters before discovering India and the Far East.
What do you want to reflect in your Artworks ?
My work is the mirror of my passions, like a second life. It is the projection of my mental portrait.
To fully restore life, you have to love others and enrich yourself with their talents to be in harmony with the topics covered. Creation at home is permanent, even obsessive, this the price to pay. My vision of the world is built on a solid technique.
Do you have a personal statement, an artistic legacy ?
I register as an heir to the movement of classical painting and take up this quote from Gilles Deleuze «For an Artist to be a witness of his time is a duty» and, nothing new but in a new way.
