Technique : Eric de Belleval defines his painting as "lyrical abstraction and depth of the emotional field ..."

His works are based on three guiding principals:
Abstraction - The abstract painter is a free man. He paints the world with no obligation to copy it. He conveys the movement, the skies, the deserts and chasms, without depending on their topographic contours. He captures the movements that the eye does not see. He invites to meditating and daydreaming without imposing the recognition of reality.
Colour - The colour comes from the "depth" of the canvas and is revealed by the light source that illuminates it. The proposed painted motifs are worked with a brush much more than a knife, and rather slowly. The whites selected for the mixtures are somewhat chemically less opaque (able to mix without completely covering the other colours), thus allowing reliefs or holy effects.
The link - This mechanism between abstraction and colour finds its culmination in the eye of the observer who appropriates himself the canvas and finds a personal emotion, a trace of himself.
