Eric Guéna was born on 25 November 1953 in Louvres, Val d’Oise, France.
At the age of twenty, he travelled to Asia for the first time, where he studied the local artistic techniques such as “Sumi-è” (Japanese ink painting), lacquer painting, traditional decorative gold leaf painting and Japanese screen production. He started to restore Japanese and Chinese works of art while travelling through Asia.
He became proficient in both Western and Oriental painting techniques. His style is a fusion of east and west, his work is a collage of these different influences, heightening the unique atmosphere of his paintings.
He currently lives and works in he region of Paris. Gallery Famarte Asian art collaborates with him on permanent basis since 2012.
