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.
Du fond de la nuit
Du temps ou les infantes
Et le silence prend des parfums d'orange
Et n'être plus qu'un instant
Et s'estompent les heures anciennes
Juste pour rêver
Et s'il lui plait
Et jour soupire
Hier demain rose et noir
Il est encore temps d'aimer
Il était une fois une rose
Juste avant le jour
Images d’hier
La ou poussent les murmures
Le gout d'un été
Les jours sont des joyaux
L’horizon tire a lui un peu de ciel
Loin encor plus loin
Même serait-elle une ombre de demain
Ne plus vouloir qu'aimer
Sortant de la mémoire du temps
Ne sont ni de ce temps
Même les rêves sont en péril
Ou nul ne passe qu’elle
Telle l'image égarée du temps
Pour faire aimer ceux qui passent
Quand les miroirs se mettent a rêver
Quelque part il y a un rêve
Quelqu'un ici a aimé
Quelque part, un peu de ciel
Sil n'y avait que le silence des soleils éteints
Tandis que s'égrène le temps
Telle l'image du jour
Tout ce que femme veut
Une fleur, un coin de ciel
Venus du fond de l'ete
