Jean-Baptiste Valadié (b. 1933) is one of the most famous French painters, creating in an extraordinary style. His paintings feature everything: children, birds, landscape sketches. However, the most important element in them is sunlight, evoking pleasant associations for the viewers.

The ideal of womanhood is the main theme of Jean-Baptiste Valadié's work. She is like the source of light, happiness, and all the woes of humanity, the most beautiful and desirable phenomenon in the world, as a dream and reality - all of this has been the red thread running through the artist's life and work, experiencing personal dramas and upheavals. Over six decades, Jean-Baptiste has achieved perfection in portraying the refined female body and the subtle space with translucent pastel colors. From one painting to another, the artist conveys to the viewer the sensations he himself feels.

The artist's passion for travel became the key to continuous exhibitions in many countries on all continents, which brought him worldwide fame. His exhibitions have been highly successful in France, England, the United States, and South Africa.
