Michel Canetti

Michel moves from fashion plates to canvases of elegance and style, celebrating feminine beauty and appeal. His approach is disarming, direct and minimal, capturing good looks and alluring charm in a few deft strokes of the brush. His underlying touch of eroticism is as delicate and enticing as traces of the perfume of an exquisite and bewildering bouquet.

Such skills and approach are to be expected, for Paris born and a design graduate of the Sorbonne, Canetti has long been a master in the field of fashion. At the peak of his career, Michel is acclaimed as one of France's leading fashion illustrators, his images enliven the pages of such leading European magazines as Elle, Vogue and Le Figaro. His awe inspiring range of prestigious clients include Diana Ferrari, Guerlain, Chanel, Givenchi, De Beers to name a few.

In the area of fine art, Michel has exhibited in Paris, Zurich, Hamburg and Melbourne. His paintings usually focus on the face, a make up of eyes, lips, and nose, crowned with styled short or long and loose hair, rendered with expressionist verve, whispers of playfulness and moments of exquisite passion. While all is very chic and reminiscent of high fashion glamour, the creativity behind Michel's gestures of paint deals clever insights into the female and the eternel fascination of her charms.
