Monestier was born in 1974 in the Yvelines,
France. At such a young age, this artist has
already had a remarkable career and has
been a professional painter since 1994. He was
brought up in a family of artists, so it is only
natural that he chose this profession. Taught in
his father's studio, he learned how to engrave
and paint with both pastel and oil paints.
Monestier is a colorist above all and likes to focus
mostly on his still-lives because they allow him to
be able to use the freest of colors. The energetic,
forceful paint and richness of tint shown in
Monestier's floral bouquets enchant us with their
intense presence, their tenderness. He uses the
brightest of primary colors to depict his still-lives,
making them leap out at the viewer. These
works of sensual cubism are rhythms like a score
of music where the tempo has four times the
color, grace, balance and joy to captivate us.
Monestier's magnificent techniques, which he
renders with a palette knife, have been
featured in numerous galleries.
