stéphane braud

Stéphane Braud, was born in Libourne in 1955, is today considered as one of the greatest underwater painters in the world. He is also known as the "blue fisherman".
He creates his paintings from nature, directly under the sea.

Self-taught, Stéphane Braud started to paint at the age of 19 and travelled to Norway, Germany and Tunisia where he found his inspiration. His favorite technique is watercolor on the spot.

Since 1974, he has been traveling through Africa. It took him more than 20 years of research to finally recreate on his canvases, the atmosphere of the Maghreb, the effect of time on the doors discolored by the sun. Unique, his doors are of a sensitive realism and an unequalled depth.
In 1980, he left his job to devote himself solely to painting and flew to Reunion Island where he set up his studio. Passionate about diving, he naturally began to paint underwater.

Today, installed in Marakech, he exhibits his works all over the world.
