Rupert Shrive

My first meeting with the artist Rupert Shrive was when I had an internship in Paris in 2009. I worked in the same building as him. It was love at first sight when I saw his amazing paintings.
I would like to
introduce Rupert Shrive for those who are not familiar with his work. I dream myself away in his universe, and hope you will do the same.

I found some cool stuff, that have inspired me - Hope it will inspire you too.
