Jean Terles studied at the Beaux Arts in Paris after a degree in modern literature. He entered the studio of Lucien Simon, and continued his training at the Casa Velasquez. He stayed in Morocco during the war then returned to Paris where he rubbed shoulders with Yves Brayer and Jean Dubuffet, among others. He exhibited alongside them in the major Parisian galleries. He also worked as an illustrator for great authors (Emile Zola, Georges Bernanos, Henri Maurois, etc.) and taught at the Gobelins school. He returned to Lot et Garonne at the end of the 70s and continued to work and exhibit.
