His artistic expression is extremely refined and is based essentially on the use of white and black colours. These two shades, according to their mat or gloss finish, combined with various brushing or sleeking techniques lead to a three dimensional world. His pictural space is made of cubes, calligraphy, feather compactions, floating constructs… André Nadal‘s aesthetics, both zen and dynamic, carries us into a soothing and stimulating contemplation. At the present time André Nadal has shows in galleries in Paris, Bruxels, Casablanca and in the south of France.
