Always fascinated by the thick and tortured palette of his grandfather, David Fonteyne works with oil in tubes or based on pigments and also with acrylic.
Introduced early to the mysteries of color by his grandfather, David does not remember a single day of his existence without painting. He sold his first paintings at the age of twelve, proud to continue the family tradition. The artistic career of his ancestors is indeed rich in numerous distinctions. He gives free rein to his impulses, sweeps aside the codes and celebrates his independence. Ignited by the unlimited possibilities of creative work, he reveals his whole being in each of his paintings. Through his seascapes and landscapes, David invites the public to explore new territories.
His approach to the material that he applies with a knife is reminiscent of sculpture. David's work is part of the impressionist tradition. The sensual texture characteristic of his technique inspires mixtures full of tenderness. Just like color, relief allows him to highlight certain elements of his compositions. An instinctive force emanates from his raw and dense features. No detail or embellishment comes between his emotions, his gestures and his art.
