About the work

With Ceytaire, it is the entire oneiric dimension, haloed with bitter-sweet acidity, that must be digested. A rare artist, a mad talent, a mastery of gesture, of writing. Ceytaire draws more that paints, with breathtaking lightness, exploring a world - his own - of joyous perversity.
Far from succumbing to the temptations of sauciness, Ceytaire knows, marvelously, how to go beyond the limits of propriety and paradigm with diabolical finesse.
Intelligent, brilliant, cultivated - everything Ceytaire does seduces, and his work in the great tradition of gold leaf is unmatched.
