Vilcaz's art'Niversary
Artist since 1998
A Great THANI YOU !
In 2023, I celebrated my 25-year career during a very special year, when I was determined to put on a spectacular display of exhibitions, events and surprises...and take the opportunity to say THANK YOU.
Thank you to all of you who have placed your trust in me and who have accompanied, followed and supported me throughout all these years.

Professional artist since 1998...
It is already a great opportunity for a professional artist to have succeeded in a career as a painter...
so to be able to celebrate my 25th anniversary was a real honour for me...
That is why I was keen to celebrate in many different ways throughout this Art'niversary year, both with events and artistic projects, and I would like to thank Francis Cabrel for doing me the honour of writing the preface to my 25th anniversary collector's edition artist's book!
I invite you to discover all these Art'niversary events below.

It is with great emotion that I look back on all these years of my career, which have passed by like a shooting star…
There have been some great moments in my artistic career, with the very first galleries that placed their trust in me when I was starting out… like those incredible encounters and situations that have marked my journey… I think of that American gallery owner, travelling in Paris, who discovered one of my works in an art magazine… after all these years, our wonderful collaboration is still going strong…
The opportunity to exhibit at the Grand Palais in Paris… and the lump in my throat as I exhibited in this legendary venue, where I was spotted by a Japanese agent and gallery owner… this was the beginning of the great adventure to Japan, where I still exhibit today…
Not to mention my exhibitions at the prestigious Carrousel du Louvre, opened by the President of the Republic himself, where I was honoured with the title of Member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-arts de Paris.
Marked by memorable moments, incredible encounters, strokes of luck… from gallery to gallery, I first exhibited in France, then in the USA, Europe, Asia… from art fairs to group exhibitions, where one day I became a guest of honour, to solo exhibitions, little by little my career grew…
Building on this momentum, in 2012 my first artist’s book was published… and in 2023 this ‘collector’s item’, a testament to all these years…
A 25-year career was a bit like the work of a lifetime, which I wanted to share with you in this Art’niversary year… and continue to work towards in the future…
The publication of my artist's book COLLECTOR 25 YEARS, with a foreword by the talented Francis Cabrel, was a wonderful highlight in my career, presenting what my painting has become after these 25 years...
