Cédric Peltier was 19 when he began drawing and painting. He knew it was a bit late, but he had always been fascinated by people who knew how to draw, and after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in literature, he turned away from his journalism aspirations to devote himself fully to learning art.

Since then, he has always felt rushed, trying to catch up. More interested in a traditional apprenticeship than in teaching fine arts, he went to Brussels to acquire the basics of decorative painting at the Van der Kelen-Logelain Institute. There, he learned to create imitations of marble, wood, precious stones, and ornaments. Then, after a trip to Venice where he discovered Old Masters such as Titian, Veronese, and Tintoretto, he decided to develop his own style and perfect his figurative art.

He settled near La Rochelle for a major renovation project on a 15th-century fortified farm located in a nature reserve. Working alongside Jean-Michel Benier, he learned how to compose and design a work of art. He developed a passion for nature and created his first series of paintings featuring a magnificent bull. After two years there, he decided to continue his studies in Avignon, where he learned to create traditional frescoes and restore historic monuments.

Revealed through his collaborations with Maison Pierre Frey, La Mamounia, and Cartier, Cédric Peltier is now based in Paris. After many years of developing his own techniques, he truly believes that collaborations between artists and artisans can be the best way to elevate a work of art to a higher level.
