JIEL, may give the impression of being a conventional painter without extravagance and often falsely naive, but make no mistake, it is from his childlike soul that he draws his energy, the essential source of the creative universe...

JIEL's aim is to translate what he feels, and he doesn't hesitate to transform or distort reality so that it becomes "his". His painting is never a faithful and perfect reproduction of reality, focusing above all on the interplay of colors and contrasts, and taking a malicious pleasure in marrying hot and cold to obtain a 37-degree result... An antidote to doldrums and gloom.
