The artwork of Gabriel Bonmati (1928-2005) is a
mixture of choice ingredients inspired by his
travels around the world. It all started in
Morocco in 1928, when he was born into a
French/Spanish household. He began his studies in
French which eventually led him to the Paris
School of Fine Arts. From 1952-1965 he taught at
a girls' high school in Casablanca. At that time,
he was also painting and began to exhibit his
work in 1965. The same year he was appointed head
of the Educational Documentation Center at the
Nice Academy by the French ministry of Education.
Although he had a successful career, he continued
to paint and exhibit in Menton, Monte Carlo and
Nice. Like much of the world, he attended Expo
'67 in Montreal and fell in love with the Quebec
Landscape. He exhibited some of his work in
Montreal and then worked his way to the United
States. Meanwhile in France, curators were
exhibiting his paintings with the likes of
Salvador Dali and Marc Chagall. He holds his own
next to these masters with his unique color
palette and his ability to understand and
recreate the world around him.

4A-t-elle été
5Au commencement était le printemps
6Des morceaux du temps
Tout en imaginant le jour
7Dame, d'ou que tu sois

13Alors que s'enfuient les heures
14Au-delà du temps
Entre la nuit et le jour et l'amour
15De la profondeur des nuits
Depuis toujours
16De tous les joyaux
Encore moins une pensée
17Des heures a l'infini
18Des l'instant du jour
19Des mots au parfum de fruit
20Des profondeurs du temps
Pour un soupir
21Derrière une lune éclatée
Et il y aura demain
22Du temps des rêves infinis quand demain devient
hier
23Du fond de la nuit
En croyant que tout est vrai
24Du chuchotement des fleurs
25Douce comme un été
26Du temps qui fuit
27Des visages sortis d'ailleurs
28Dès que s'éveillera la terre
29Combien de cavaliers perdus dans les rêves
30Comme un matin musicale
31Comme une brise de mai
32D'ailleurs un regard une attente
33Viens, écoute les feuilles de l'automne
34Un gout de rose
