Description
Returning to Annecy in 2006, he set up his studio on the heights of Annecy. A lover of the lake and its mountains, he made a name for himself locally with his ‘LesBleusduLac’ series. Gilles Giacomotti revisits the most beautiful shores and summits.
A singular style
He first worked on parquet floors in New York. On his return to France, Gilles Giacomotti used water-based paints to penetrate the wood and its material. The knots and veins provide a magical backdrop that magnifies the work thanks to the colour that the artist deposits on the surface of the painting. In shades of blue, his favourite colour, he lets us discover the moods of the lake and the mists that veil and reveal the mountain peaks and landscapes in turn. A lake that is sometimes agitated, angry or nostalgic, and other times calm and serene, inviting us to meditate.

Born in Geneva and originally from Annecy, Gilles Giacomotti graduated from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Arts in Dijon in 1987. He moved to the United States in 1994 and began his artistic career in New York, where he created and produced works on parquet flooring.
Returning to Annecy in 2006, he set up his studio in the hills above Annecy le Vieux. A lover of the lake and its mountains, he made a name for himself locally with his series ‘Les Bleus du Lac’. Gilles Giacomotti revisits the most beautiful shores and summits.
His paintings are tinged with intense blues, colours that are dear to the artist and invite us to contemplate. The landscapes are reminiscent of a childhood spent on the shores of Lake Annecy, and reflect the artist's attachment to this colourful town.
