Frederic Payet was born on the French Island of Madagascar, raised in Paris and moved to the United states, in 1989. 

Payet's defining style is impressionism. He uses this style to idyllically encapsulate his perceptions of the world. His work conveys the long-lost environments of a calm countryside and cityscape whether French or North American. 

Two of his significant characteristics, usually underrepresented in the impressionistic works of other current artists, are the boldness of color choice and the vibrating, life-like movement on the canvas. Draped shamelessly in blues and purples, his paintings are beyond sensual purity. The life-like motion passively emblazoned within the definite application of the palette knife creates a vibrancy hard to ignore. 

For nearly 27 years Payet has been featured in numerous exhibitions across the United States and Europe and now Asia. 

My work reflects my world travels, my spiritual journey and all of the beauty that inspires me. 

Color is one of the languages of the soul. It influences our mood and emotions, the flow and energy of our body. It can impact our mood, our sense of well-being and happiness.
