Du vent dans les pinceaux

About the book

Discover more than 300 pages of enchanting observations, amazement and testimony; feel the warm air of the desert, raise your eyes to the frosted summits. With an immense talent for capturing the capriciousness of light, Christian Heinrich takes us on a spectacular journey: from Madeira Island to remote villages in the Himalayas, taking the 'long way round' back to his native Alsace, France.

Nature is splendidly revealed with his paintbrushes and pencils. His accompanying anecdotes, in turn poetic, descriptive, philosophical and funny, reveal nuance. Wonderfully rendered portraits of the people, women, men and children he encountered reveal the sweetness of humanity.

Take this book home and immerse yourself in a world revealed in exquisite watercolours, acrylics and pencils...

About the artist

Christian Heinrich's paintbrushes and his gift for writing bring us along with him on  his journeys and his search for “what’s waiting under the drawing”.  Du vent dans les pinceaux is a very personal project which has taken ten years to mature into fruition and has been joyfully anticipated by sketch lovers and every person who also loves to travel.
