Biography:

Serge Belloni (1925-2005), known as the Painter of Paris, was born in Piacenza, Italy, on February 25, 1925, and died in Menton on October 28, 2005.

He was the son of upholsterer Luigi Belloni and Elvira Belloni born Molinari.

He arrived in Paris in 1933, where he studied painting at the renowned Ecole Superieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris.

In 1946, at the age of 21, he organized his first exhibition in Paris. From then on, he lived solely and uncompromisingly from his painting, carrying, as he likes to say, his cross every day. He works every day, in every season, without ever stopping, as if life were slipping away from him at every moment. He works in all weathers. He paints "from the motif".

Numerous trips to Holland enabled him to study the secrets of the Flemish masters.

He worked on rediscovering ancient techniques, which he continued to perfect. His technique is egg painting.
