Michel Calvet was born in 1956 in Toulouse, France. After finishing his secondary education, Calvet went on to study at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Calvet soon found a greater need to express himself and it was then that he turned his primary focus to painting and worked on mastering his skills of drawing, pastels and watercolors. A painter of movement, he compasses and rhythms his canvases with passion, an intoxication of sometimes ordinary scenes challenging our imagination with a mastery bordering an abstraction.
