Contemporary Art Station – Interview with Patrick Joosten

Could you please introduce yourself?

I am a self-taught artist,, born in Paris, residence France & Cambodia. I have always been interested in arts from my  childhood, doing some paintings and drawings.

Painting and drawing for the pleasure of creation, hoping to share moments of emotion with those who appreciate modern art.
I offer energetic, powerful abstract works, often inspired by nature, with the constant search to bring emotions and pleasure.

Inspiration mainly comes from spectacle of nature, beauty of landscape, cities or seaside. I try to catch the light, colors and emotion of the beautiful spectacle in nature and translate it with energy into an abstract art.
