Jean Jacques Marietta was born in 1945. He began painting when he was 20, and was accepted into the official House of Artists in 2001. He has exhibited in numerous countries, including Japan, China, Italy, Switzerland, and now the United States, at Galerie d'Art Francais. He has also won many awards.I did not choose to be an artist, I was born one, inheriting the artistic and creative genes passed on to me by my father. Alternating between being a comedian, photographer, inventor, computer graphics specialist, painter, and sculptor, my imagination forces me to continually explore new fields. Life is a spark and time is very precious, and there is so much more I want to do. Creating, innovating, changing, I am always moving forward.
