Alain says about himself “If dreaming is Art then I must probably be an artist”, and we couldn’t agree more with Daniel Bernard, writer and art critic, when he completes this thought saying… “It is enough to have a look at his paintings to find the confirmation there… Alain Donnat is not only an artist but also a tender and facetious poet…then let’s not waste our pleasure and just follow him in its dreams!

Alain Donnat participated in several collective expositions, mainly in France and Spain, but it´s very demanded to present his works in solo exhibitions. Since 2001 he achieved around 50 individual expositions at the best Galleries in Europe but also in Brazil and United States.
