In the refined chromatic range of his compositions, Saint-Genies creates his own mysterious symbols. The great-grandson of composer Charles GOUNOD, he gives us a universe of sweet harmonies where everything is music. Under the spell of Woman, he paints his "awakened dreams." His delicate figures invite us to follow them into a world of harmony,happiness and love. Saint-Genies' works capture the moment when the artist discovers a new face of Woman, the woman of his dreams, where a kiss is supposed to be an eternity. No artist has ever shown a woman in such a warm, yet surreal and mysterious way.
