Eric Roy

Eric Roy was born into a family and an environment with little artistic culture. He spent his childhood in Port Saint Père, a small village in the Loire Atlantique Region in France, yearning for an artistic outlet. Eric’s passion for drawing and sketching started at a young age and grew with time. However, he did not have the means or the freedom to develop this passion until he moved to the US with his wife in 2011. Having experimented with different materials and techniques, Eric has found his own style working with acrylic on canvas and wood-board. Each of his creation is unique, and is a reflection of his imagination and dreams for adventure. He has always been drawn to the world of colours and geometric shapes. To him, colors and geometric shapes represent the moments in life that are sometimes chaotic but exciting, sometimes calm and restorative, and sometimes banal and suffocating, but always changing and give him hope for a better tomorrow. What Eric strives for in his art, especially for his abstract painting, is that each person who sees it can feel something different according to their sensibility and mood. Eric believes art means different things to different individuals. Art does not have to have deep meanings, though it can often touch the most sensitive parts of our souls and stir long-buried memories and emotions. It can also be just fun and pretty and unpretentious.
