Christian Florio: born in 1951 in Lion.
National Arts Academy of Lion, with René Chancrin.
Around 1900, the hyper realism will disappear in favour of abstractionism. In that period he returns living in the region of Beaujolais and starts a solitary creation, without any kind of influences.
The substance enters his canvas. "The artist creates his own abstract language, a language that only he can own and which makes the difference among the local and regional context".
The artist looks up to what exceeds him and, humbly, patiently he starts going on his way...
Today Christian Florio lives and works in Dordogne.
