Pite Sarranof, painter of Russian origin, lived and worked in Vendée, a French region of the northern Atlantic coast with long and beautiful beaches still wild. The landscapes of this land are the main source of inspiration for Sarranof. The cloudy skies, the windy beaches, the fascinating phenomenon of the tide, the quiet countryside with sunflowers and poppies fields are the favourite subjects of his works. Sarranof translates the force of nature in sturdy strokes and in powerful colours.
