One of the best known artists in Seychelles and well known by his exhibition in Europe and in U.S.A

The last 20 years have seen a new generation of Seychelles painter's rise to national and international prominence with their exuberant rendrings of island life.

One of the best known is Gerard Devoud. He has devoted his life to capturing the beauty, light and easy living of the Seychelles on canvas. Against a background of luxuriant vegetation, he portrays the islands' markets, characters and fabrics in a bright tapestry of forms that are like a prelude to travel.
