biography
Jean-Michel Raczinski, born in 1957, lives and works in Paris.
Self-taught artist, he has been painting since childhood. He studied composition, visual perception, color symbolism, different techniques and art history at the École du Louvre, among others.
His works have been presented at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris, the Salon de Montrouge, in several Parisian galleries and more recently at the Saint-Mandé contemporary art week, the Saint-Maurice art fair, by the Cercle des Artistes de Paris at the Parc Floral de Paris and by ADAIS at the Espace Saint-Pierre in Senlis.
An electronics engineer passionate about music, Jean-Michel worked with composer Iannis Xenakis on the creation of computer tools dedicated to musical composition. He also participated in the development of a start-up in the field of digital audio.
Today a fully-fledged artist, his painting tends towards a free and sensitive abstraction, sometimes ruled by numbers, in search of beauty, beyond emotion, towards the essential, the invisible, a form of eternity, to be shared.
