The artwork of Gabriel Bonmati (1928-2005) is a mixture of choice ingredients inspired by his travels around the world. It all started in Morocco in 1928, when he was born into a French/Spanish household. He began his studies in French which eventually lead him to the Paris School of Fine Arts. From 1952-1965 he taught at a girls' high school in Casablanca. At that time, he was also painting and began to exhibit his work in 1965. The same year he was appointed head of the Educational Documentation Center at the Nice Academy by the French ministry of Education. Although he had a successful career, he continued to paint and exhibit in Menton, Monte Carlo and Nice.

Like much of the world, he attended Expo '67 in Montreal and fell in love with the Quebec Landscape. He exhibited some of his work in Montreal and then worked his way to the United States. Meanwhile in France, curators were exhibiting his paintings with the likes of Salvador Dali and Marc Chagall. He holds his own next to these masters with his unique color palette and his ability to understand and recreate the world around him. 

A travers l’instant

A-t-elle été

Au commencement était le printemps

Des morceaux du temps

Tout en imaginant le jour

Dame, d'ou que tu sois

Bien

au-

delà

du

sile

nce

Un murmure

Alors que s'enfuient les heures

Au-delà du temps

Entre la nuit et le jour et l'amour

De la profondeur des nuits

Depuis toujours

De tous les joyaux

Encore moins une pensée

Des heures a l'infini

Des l'instant du jour

Des m

de

fruit

Des profondeurs du temps

Pour un soupir

Derrière une lune éclatée

Et il y aura demain

Du temps des rêves infinis quand demain devient hier

Du fond de la nuit

En croyant que tout est vrai

Du chuchotement des fleurs

Douce comme un été

Du temps qui fuit

Des visages sortis d'ailleurs

Dès que s'éveillera la terre

Combien de cavaliers perdus dans les rêves

Comme un matin musicale

Comme une brise de mai

D'ailleurs un regard une attente

Viens, écoute les feuilles de l'automne

Un g
