Pure and generous product of the Julian Academy, which never ceases to deliver us exceptional artists, Francis de Lassus Saint-Génies bewitch the mind and the senses with the grace and seduction of such a poetic talent that staff who made it possible to have his painting appreciated both in France and in the course of numerous renowned international galleries, such as the "Kunstkabinett" by Ursula Oëser in Goch, Germany or the "Hedens Koustgallerie" by Helsingborg in Sweden . In addition to a technique as enviable as remarkable, Saint-Génies represents the marvelous legendary associated with the most fascinating fantastic. This lover of bodies from elsewhere institutes the majestic and the sensual according to myths marked by the harmony of bewitching beings, true dreams that an artist puts within reach of the heart thanks to the expressive and supremely elegant tangible of his art. Angels, amazons, lovers, bestiaries are born in enthusiasm, created by astonishing and fluid colors that a studied light accentuates in finesse, magic fruits of a Celtic culture and a profession with undisputed and clairvoyant qualities, while daring and singularity spice up the exhilarating mystery of creation.
