Pierre Peyrolle was
born in 1945 under the ribbed vaults of Port-Royal.
His early voracity for the more demanding culture will quickly
drive him with an insatiable curiosity towards artistic creation.
Musical formation generating a limitless taste for opera and that
most musical of architecture: the baroque
Progressive abandonment of the traditional curriculum for an assiduous
immersion in the poetry and literature of 17th and 18th century.
Vicarious fascination with Jansenism, all the spiritual rebellions
and works hinting of mysticism.
Fortuitous revelation by his piano teacher of the painting of
Salvador Dali, which will engender an absolute attraction to pleasure
and the theatrical and the rebuttal of the dry speculation of
muddled art.
After a roving adolescence, first voyages in Italy, lives in Ravenna
then meanders in Tuscany.
The juxtaposition of the Apollonian and Dionysian in Italy will
become the disordered palanquin of an irreversible affinity for
the baroque and of a secret taste for the Sienna primitives and
exuberant colour.
