BIOGRAPHY OF JEAN FRANCOIS DEBONGNIE Jean-Francois Debongnie, born 1968, a native of Brussels, has been resident in Singapore since 1989. Trained as a photographer then a self-taught painter, Jean-Francois favors large canvases on which he explores the themes that inspire him in series such as “Red flowers”, “Summer”, “Dancing in the wind” and “Landscape – China”. In all these series Jean-Francois brings to life flowers – both as iconographic floral signatures which capture the essential qualities of a flower rather than strict botanical representations and as part of a landscape in fields growing wild amidst ripening grain. The use of Chinese ink adds a dramatic fluidity to all his works. At present, Jean Francois works and lives between Belgium and Singapore.

Abstract textured acrylic painting on canvas, measuring 100x100x2 cm (39.4 x 39.4 x 0.8 inches). This mixed-media piece on a gallery-wrapped canvas is ready to hang, with no framing required. The sides of the artwork are meticulously painted. The piece is signed, dated, and titled, accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. Drawing inspiration from years of studying spiritual teachings by Eckhart Tolle, this artwork, titled "It's Still Summer" invites you into a world of serene impasto colors, rich with meditative floral enchantment. Influenced by abstract expressionism and modern art, my technique involves using undiluted acrylic paint, ink, gel medium, and structure paste, applied with spatulas, tubes, and fruit knives to create three-dimensional flowers and surfaces. The lapis lazuli background hosts a captivating arrangement of roses. Eckhart Tolle's philosophy, often conveyed through flower metaphors, echoes in this artwork. Flowers symbolize living in the present moment, free from the burdens of the past or the anxieties of the future. They remind us of our interconnectedness with the world, urging empathy and compassion. I invite you to explore this vibrant and tranquil piece, where the essence of summer persists in a timeless, floral dance. Style: Abstract impressionism with a touch of modern art, using impasto techniques to craft three-dimensional floral elements on a lapis lazuli background.
