Reproduction of the painting "Tahitian Dance in Moorea"
Art print, reproduction of an original painting representing a Tahitian dancer from the Tiki Village in Moorea. We see a vahine from the back (Polynesian woman) dressed in a traditional Polynesian costume: a red "more" skirt and red feathered headdress, performing the Ori Tahiti (traditional dance) facing the lagoon of Moorea.
The Artist - Donatien Jumel
Artist-painter based in Moorea since 2016, the 'sister' island of Tahiti, he was immediately marked on his arrival in French Polynesia, by its contrasting colors, its paradisiacal landscapes, but above all by the kindness of the Polynesian people and their interest for art and traditions.
In the studio
Most of his paintings are completed in his studio located on the edge of the lagoon in Moorea. But Donatien sometimes escapes to join the green nature of the interior of the island with his easel under his arm. He paints exclusively with oil paint, a technique that he particularly likes for its complexity, authenticity and nobility. Its supports are the canvas mounted on a frame or raw wooden planks that he prepares before painting.
