A true watercolourist, Jean Salou uses this difficult discipline to develop his art. He experiments with different effects and thus creates a very contemporary pictorial language, without forgetting or distancing himself from a reality that is, with his talent, even more enchanting.
Passionate about music and art, constantly learning, his expansive brushwork often demands large formats.
He prefers spontaneity to a traditional academic style or to photographic realism. He does not use preparatory sketches, nor does he re-work his pictures in the studio.

Extraits de textes de Xavier Oriot & André Ruellan |
According to Salou, there are many similarities between the creativity of music and painting.
With his free use of colour, line and form, he expresses a truth that cannot be communicated in words. Salou's goal is to convey an emotion, an atmosphere, the desire for a connection.
