Creative artist of the Double in Périgord. Lilian Longaud comes from a sharecropper family. A young hopeful cyclist, he became friends with Raymond Poulidor. Later, he abandoned the factory, then the nursing syringes and his patients to become a painter, draftsman and sculptor. He opened a gallery in 1987 in Montpon-Ménestérol. He participates in numerous exhibitions. He illustrates various works and publishes “La terre des humbles” which received the Heritage Foundation Prize in 2005 from the Academy of Sciences and Belles Lettres of Bordeaux. A lover of the “Double”, of its forests and its ponds, he draws, he paints then turns to sculpture and clay modeling. He draws the clay for his creations from the land of the “Double” which he has never left throughout his life. He is passionate about the architecture of his native region and transcribes wonderfully: trees, local houses, half-timbered and cob farms but also bourgeois residences.
