Pierre Bonnefille

Pierre Bonnefille is a French artist, decorative painter, furniture designer and “Maître d'Art” (Art Master) with a unique and poetic approach. Born in 1958 in Saint-Quentin in the North of France, he has lived and worked in Paris since 1985.  

Material, colors and light are inseparable in the artist's work. He creates his own materials and textures, made from mineral powder, limestone, lava, marble, earth, from natural pigments and metallic powders. He draws inspiration from the colors of nature, along with architectural references from Venice, Pompei and Kyoto. 

To make his color palettes, Bonnefille starts with the earth and the materials that he collects, and then goes on to analyze their colorimetric structures. The intensity, color and movements of light offers an ever-changing and new interpretation of color and texture, giving them a unique and particular identity. 

 
For 30 years, Pierre Bonnefille's wall compositions and home pieces have been seen around the world, from private projects, to institutions, to installation in the shops and offices of luxury brands, including Cartier, Hermès and Loro Piana.
