An innate passion for art
Roland Graviassy was born in Albi in 1963 into a family where being an artist was not a status symbol. Since the age of 20, Roland Graviassy has practiced oil painting with brushes and a spatula.
A figurative painter, Roland is self-taught, a hard worker, and a perfectionist. His apprenticeship was based on experimentation, intuition, personal curiosity, and his encounters with talented Albi painters.
For Roland, painting is a fuel for progress. It is a driving force in life, a constant quest filled with pleasures and sacrifices. It is a language, a way of communicating with others that transcends words. For him, painting is not a gift but hard work.
He describes himself as a manual artist, an artistic manual. He favors the handmade, the authentic, the unique. It is in this spirit that he creates his sculptures.
