The tragedy of Pierre
In this dreamlike scene bathed in nocturnal light, five nude figures stand around a table, frozen in a suspended moment. The painting blends references to Catholic tradition, evoked by the symbolic presence of fish, and to the sacred imagery of ancient Egypt, embodied by the luminous scarab in the foreground. Between a turbulent sky, desert silence, and inner tension, the work explores human fragility, doubt, and the spiritual quest.

About the artist Charles Lonjon

I'm a multi-faceted artist, born in 1964. My passion for art has always guided me, allowing me to flourish in different disciplines. I'm a painter, musician and lawyer, an eclectic mix that has shaped my artistic vision.

My artistic training at the Atelier Doré in St Cloud and as a student at the Beaux-arts in Paris have shaped my style, but my work is deeply influenced by the classical masters, surrealism and the lowbrow movement, with artists such as Marion Peck, Mark Rydden and Patrick Woodroffe.

I also draw inspiration from Central European painters Zdzislaw Beksinski, Wojtek Siudmak and Zdenek Burian, whose deeply onirical works stimulate my imagination.

Finally, I'm proud to be part of a dynamic and supportive artistic community.
