We present one of the works that show the artist's attachment to the sea and the Breton coast. "Jean-Jacques Morvan paints the sensations that awaken in him the marine world, the sea, the shore. Each of his creations breathes the sea air and the iodized breath of the ocean, on the throbbing front of the sandbar... Thus the shore is neither totally the earth, nor yet the sea. It is the confluence where the elements merge, at the same time as water is a link between life and its origins. Sometimes, this painter adds marine materials to the painting. Not only is the universe of the sea the soul of the painting, but it takes physical possession of it.
