Michelle Marglay <Old Port of Honfleur> Oil painting No. 25F

Born in 1938 in Landelles, France (Normandy region).

He paints landscapes of his native Normandy, the Atlantic coast of Brittany, Paris, and Venice. His use of gentle colors may not create a strong initial impact, but his works gradually seep into the heart, evoking a sense of emotion for everyday scenes bathed in soft light.

He began painting in his childhood. His paintings are an expression of "eternal happiness." In his world, everything is enveloped in a gentle, subtle light. His paintings belong to the tradition of French art. Like all Impressionist painters, he expresses natural light and shadow and the emotions nature evokes with delicate touches, sure tonality, and authentic colors. Stepping into a Marguery painting is like strolling down a forest path on a summer's day.

The beauty of his forms, flowing tonality, and color accents are the secrets behind his clear paintings. Down to the texture, it is as if one is in a dream world, figurative and full of color.

He has held exhibitions in galleries throughout France, including those in Faubourg Saint-Honoré, a high-end boutique district in Paris. He has received special awards for art, science, and culture.

In Japan, he has also gained popularity by holding exhibitions at famous department stores such as Mitsukoshi and Daimaru.
