I am a child of the region, born in Nice between the snow-capped peaks of the Alps and the blue Mediterranean Sea.
I draw inspiration from the light, colours and heritage of the French Riviera to create works imbued with refinement and emotion.
My artistic universe, at the crossroads of culture and tourism, finds its place in exceptional venues and high-end events.
Jean-Paul Ritrovato
Trained in art history and tourism, I first explored Indian ink and oil painting before devoting my work to watercolour. This medium allows me to capture the transparency of the atmosphere and the purity of light unique to the Mediterranean.
My creations are a way of telling a story: that of a place, a moment, an emotion. I seek to reconnect art with lived experience, whether during an event, a holiday or an encounter.
My watercolours convey a simple, accessible and sincere form of elegance, faithful to our region. By incorporating my work into their offerings, hotels and agencies in turn share this vision: to make every moment a work of art for their guests.
Accustomed to collaborating with players in the business tourism sector, I design artistic performances that meet the standards of luxury and event planning. I work in hotels as well as at corporate events, with a rigorous, fluid and professional approach.
Each project, whether it is an animation, a personalised work or a collaboration, is carried out with the same high standards: to offer an artistic experience that is locally rooted, masterful and memorable.
My approach is inspired by the heritage and history of the French Riviera.
Authentic artistic experiences, centred on people and tailored to luxury standards
My training as a bilingual tour guide has given me excellent interpersonal skills with English-speaking audiences.
