For over twenty years, she has exhibited her work in France, Russia, Monaco and Italy, publishing an art book in 2014 and taking part in the "Sotkano" exhibition in Moscow in 2024. Today, she continues her luminous, sensitive work. Chantal Walter Based in the Occitanie region of France, Chantal Walter regularly takes part in cultural events and group and solo exhibitions. After a career marked by drawing and figurative expression, she gradually oriented her work towards abstraction, which today constitutes the core of her artistic approach. Her works, mostly in acrylic and sometimes enhanced by mixed media, explore the power of color and the vibration of light. Eric Vanhoutte Eric Vanhoutte is a self-taught French painter. A sailor and yacht captain, he has been drawing his inspiration from the marine world for over fifteen years. Working in large-format acrylics, he creates a vibrant body of work that blends light, horizon and movement. His canvases bear the imprint of his travels: a sensitive look at the sea, its reflections and infinity. Alain Garcia Alain Garcia is a traveling artist whose universe is inspired by his many peregrinations around the world. Passionate about drawing and watercolor, he transforms each destination into emotionally-charged works. Water and the sea, omnipresent in his life as in his work, are a major source of inspiration - from the canals of Venice to the landscapes of Vietnam, via his memories of sailing and diving. A member of the Étoile d'Azur and L'Aigle de Nice associations, he takes part in Franco-Chinese exhibitions and was awarded the Prix de la Ville de Saint-Laurent-du-Var for the quality of his watercolours.
