Christian Sanseau, born in 1952, is a French painter whose work is deeply rooted in the maritime world. He has established himself with an energetic, palette knife style, where generous impasto and powerful contrasts convey the force of the elements. His canvases intensely depict the life of ports, fishermen, and windswept coasts, capturing both the movement and the rugged poetry of the shoreline.

The painting presented here, oil on canvas 16 × 24 cm, perfectly illustrates his style: a sailor in a yellow raincoat faces the tumultuous sea, while birds swirl beneath a deep blue sky. The dynamic impasto, broad brushstrokes, and contrasting palette lend the scene an almost dramatic vigor. This is an emblematic work by Christian Sanseau, where the artist captures the moment with strength, rhythm and sensitivity.
