Frédéric ANDRES was born in 1979 in Moselle, France. He is a self-taught painter and sculptor. He started drawing as a child but his first paintings were created in 1998. His favorite colours are blue and violet: they make it possible for him to give life to the subject and create emotion for the viewer. For him, painting represents escape and freedom but also a shelter.
