Olivier Suire-Verley is a passionate artist who has devoted his life to painting, shaping a universe where light and movement meet. Heir to a family artistic tradition, he draws his inspiration from travel, urban settings and nature.
His studio on the Ile de Ré, bathed in the light he loves, is the scene of intense, solitary creation. His canvases reveal silhouettes in search of horizons, oscillating between shadow and light, melancholy and hope. His paintings, both expressive and poetic, capture the essence of travel and the human condition.
1951 Olivier Suire Verley was born in La Rochelle (Charente Maritime), France. He studied at the Lycée Eugène Fromentin, then moved on to Tours and Paris, where he attended various art schools and workshops.
