According to Greek myths, sirens were powerful and erotic creatures, and many unsuspecting sailors would fall prey to their seductive beauty. The common belief was that they would devour sailors after their ships would crash into the rocks, as most men couldn't resist the temptation of their sweet melodies and angelic faces. More on The Fisherman and The Siren

Philippe Vignal, French artist born in Mozambique, draws his inspiration from his childhood memories steeped by faces of women and men, powerful, wild and proud. On a canvas stretched as leather, black color covers the entire frame. And then, brushstrokes of white bring out forms and lights, strength and sensuality! A perfectionist work that highlights details, shadows and lights, the faces and bodies seem almost alive. The hyper- realistic faces and nudes are the main topics that fascinate and inspire him, revealed through his aesthetic and technic that brings you in his personal universe.Visual shock and meeting face to face... that attracts and challenges at the same time.  More on Philippe Vignal
