About Roy Forget

 
 
  • Biography
    Art has been a lifelong passion for me. I have been living in Paris, France, for the past 14 years and have been regularly exhibiting my work in non-profit spaces. Painting has always been my way of contemplating and understanding life and the world at large. My work is figurative as I have always found that representational imagery speaks to the ideas that I am interested in — the place of people within the context of their world and surroundings. I am on Artfinder because I would like to reach a larger audience for my work.  I have accumulated a number of beautiful paintings over the past ten years that I would like to share with more than just the people living in Paris.
