A sea artist to discover: Vincent Prieur



"I am a pinseyeur. I first pick up driftwood but also find some unexpected objects."

"Stripped of its dross, often rot-proof and impregnated with a subtle smell of sea perfumes, the flotsam provokes my imagination...Far from being a dead residue, it can be a bringer of life ... "

"My approach is poetic, instinctive and genuine, from raw materials for the most part from the sea."

"I walk around freely, as I like ... " Vincent Prieur (Translated from French)

Definition of Pinseur: Originally a pinseyeur picks the driftwood on beaches for heating or furnishing. Currently, a pinseyeur is an artist who recycles these "gifts of the sea" by integrating them into his work, preferably without adding external elements to the maritime world.
