Gabriel Bonmati
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.

Juste pour rêver
