This "rural bouquet" illuminated by spring light radiates the bold colors of wildflowers laid on with generous brushstrokes. The iridescent blue vase rests on a low white stone wall, in front of the background that sketches the meadow from which the flowers were gathered. The side shadows reinforce the luminosity effect of the artwork. In its superb frame, the composition is full of life, like an ode from the artist to the natural beauty of flowers in the glow of spring.

Michel Rodier is a French painter born in Abbeville in 1948, trained at the École des Beaux-Arts d’Abbeville

His main subjects are landscapes, the seashore with a particular affinity for the Baie de Somme… as well as still lifes. … Former guitarist and double bassist, he also dedicates a portion of his work to canvases on the musical theme.

A recognized painter, his works are regularly exhibited in exhibition venues and salons in his region. He has won several prizes such as the public prize at the Salon des peintres "Terre et Mer" in 2007, and they are the subject of laudatory articles in regional newspapers. They are also present in various public institutions.
Although he maintains a strong local anchor with his studio based in Abbeville, Michel Rodier’s works have traveled far beyond: thanks to the support of art critics, he has been able to exhibit his collections in major French cities such as Nice, Cannes or Deauville, but also internationally, notably Geneva, Rome and New York.
