Queen of Technical Nonsense Oil painting on canvas – 46×55 cm (18×22 inch)
Michaël Zancan has some very interesting and beautiful work. He was born in south west France in 1976. As far as he remembers, he has always been doodling on my schoolbooks margins or on the class tables, which cost him a fair number of punishments. Attracted to any form of creation, he mostly devoted his teenage years to computer creation and was passionate about programming. He had to wait until the age of eighteen before he got involved into painting, thanks to his exciting street art (not to say graffiti) period. In parallel he has tried a lot of painting techniques, such as airbrushing which sounded like the natural tool for switching from walls to paper.
When he was about 22 , he tired of the ephemeral nature of graffiti, and he really started to get involved into drawing. He practiced a lot thanks to various crafts for his engineering school’s gazette, party posters or t-shirts. Thanks to the final discovery of oil painting, he finally felt what painting meant.
The serious decision to become a painter came after his sterile, inartistic, one-year long experience of engineer’s work.
