“Cityscapes, landscapes, still life or the figure, the process is my passion…”
Philippe Gandiol, an award winning painter, was born and raised in France and moved to California in his early 20’s. He has painted with oils for over 30 years. He pursued an independent program of study taking classes in France, San Francisco and Sacramento and with several renowned West Coast painters.
Philippe likes to paint a variety of subjects including landscapes, cityscapes, still life and figures “en plein air” or in the studio. He works often from life, believing that in that setting he can he find the full range of light and colors that he wants in his paintings. Also and even more important, he can embrace first hand the spirit and mood of his subject. He is actively involved with the California artist community, art events and fundraisers. He also participated in local and national juried art festivals in Easton, MD, Sonoma, Carmel, Los Gatos in California to name a few.
He teaches privately out of his studio or in the outdoor and also offers online demonstrations and painting workshops. As an instructor, Philippe is appreciated as a thorough, supportive and inspiring mentor.
