Expert commentary : Jacques BOERI is a French painter described as surrealist. Born in Asnières, he apprenticed in theater sets while taking art history classes at the Louvre where he immersed himself in old masters such as Rembrandt and Vermeer. His work is both unclassifiable and timeless because it reflects the inner world of a music-loving artist living apart from society and wondering about man in general. The artist seeks to show in his paintings what women and in particular his muse and wife the painter Nadine Véfour, have concealed in the depths since the dawn of time. The contrast between the precision of the drawing and the soft and vivid colors give his works a special atmosphere and life. This impression is reinforced by an iconography inspired by his imagination, mythology or legends without ever forgetting reality.
