Reproduction of the painting "Ua reva tatou ("Let's go!" in English)"
Art print, reproduction of an original painting representing a scene of life in Polynesia from the past in 1955. We see vahines (Polynesian women) sitting on a Jeep Willys MB that the US Navy had left at Bora Bora after the war.
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.
