VITALIS en 1985 dans son atelier, devant un tableau de la série “Galaxies”
Its latest serie “GALAXIES”
From 1985 onwards, still living in Plestin-les-Grèves, VITALIS made an artistic turn by launching his “GALAXIES” series. Using sometimes gouache, sometimes oil paint, he represents the cosmos in bright colours, in movement, all filled with spirals or parabolas of stars. This experience is probably due, at the age of 87, to a childhood memory that impressed him: the passage of Haley’s comet in 1910, which he saw in the Philippines at the age of 12.
