Artist: Eric Ranveau Acrylic, 12" x 16" Eric Ranveau was born in 1966 in Chateauneuf-sur-Charente near the wine district of Cognac, France and raised in Barbezieux-Saint-Hilaire. He studied and graduated from fine arts in Angouleme and at the National Art School of Paris, France. His career as an artist started in 1989; his unique style attracted the public eye and gave him the opportunity to sell in France, Canada, Germany and Sweden. Eric left Cognac in 2006, came to Canada to be with his Canadian wife and continue his art career in Hamilton, ON. His unique work was immediately accepted and promoted by the art establishment, which gave him the opportunity to be approached by galleries in Canada, USA, Europe and Asia.

My beautiful France.”
