The French artist Râmine had always been living near to the sea - first in Abadan (Persian Gulf) and today in Brest (France). He paints seabrids, ships, lighthouses and studied anthropologie for several years and paid a major part of this time by his artistic activities until one day his hobby became his job. This was 28 years ago... His style is a mix from comics and his different ideas. He generaly paints with acrylic colors and prefers old newspapers, letters, sea charts od wood and metal to paint on.
