Quick access : 2006......2005 2005....2004 2004.....2003 2003.......2002 2007.........2006 |  Jean Marc Calvet began painting at a point in is life when severe crisis metamorphosed into a form of redemption and rebirth. With no training, he discovered the need to paint by complete chance. Not only did it save him but it changed his life. Art is his catharsis and his evolution has been astounding. For him, it is about exorcising the insanity of his past and slapping down on canvas the dirty truth of life. He paints 14 hours a day, seven days a week and lives now in Nicaragua.

I am a self-taught artist from Granada, Nicaragua. Painting is the best way for me to communicate with people. It links my internal world to my external experience, it is a catalyst for my evolution and it delivers moments of freedom. I paint to know myself and to know you, to understand and confirm our connection. It is the easiest way for me to communicate with you.
Contradiction The human being is a permanent contradiction The hero and the anti-hero in the same body, The winner and the looser in the same team. Mountain and abyss are keeping close too, An intern world made of crates, scars, hope, breakdown, light and darkness. In every one of us is leaving a universe, a land, Everybody has their own paradise, their own hell Above all do not try to be harder, on the contrary Bring out every sensitive cell, every nervous ending. Why? To live and feel this skin become shell through the years And be reborn, grazed acutley in front of the mirror. Jean Marc Calvet Emergency The alarm clock is ringing today and i already want it to be tomorrow Sharply come back to the daily realities of being a puppet To run, to run all the time until forgetting why Time flys past, love crumbles away and the run continues To shout, to scream, for everything to stop, for everything to freeze Letting wind and rain sweep up this paper world So that the silence settles the illusory happiness of this awakened dream The alarm clock is ringing and it is already ... tomorrow. Jean Marc Calvet Surprise In front of the door, sitting in this chair, I’m waiting… You left without saying a word, in an apologetic manner You smiled at me like the first time whilst closing the door, Just leaving behind your image in this broken mirror Last instant, last sign I wished I was there to hug you and tell you not to leave… Deaf to all your silences, I didn’t see it coming, Turning my head was so much easier, so much more practical… This misfortune is not something that you share… sorry In front of the door, sitting on this chair, I’m waiting… .......... ....... for your return.
