His art has always been inspired by his surroundings, from the particular light of his native Breton countryside to the landscapes of Southwest France. When he moved in the UK in 2018, the discovery of their beautiful country inspired him to draw and paint nature, the people and the architecture of small English towns. In particular, during his stay in Canterbury, his exploration of watercolour techniques and subjects strengthened his passion for this medium. Joris’ use of movement, light and colours give life in a unique and beautiful way to his paintings.

His love for England, and particularly English watercolour culture, brought him to discover St Cuthberts Mill. Saunders Waterford CP High White 638gsm (300lb) paper naturally became his favourite.

“I like how the pigments respond on its surface, receiving the colours and allowing to lift them. The texture of this paper suits my brush strokes perfectly, and I particularly love the High White colour, which bring beautiful light to my paintings”.

Joris is active on Instagram, where he developed a strong worldwide community with thousands of followers who react and share about watercolour.

He moved to Boston, USA in 2022 where he works full-time as a watercolour illustrator.
