Pierre ROUSSIA was born in 1951 in Plouzévédé
(Northern Finistere). Since his more tender childhood, he lives in osmosis with the nature which surrounds him. Untiring and passioned observer,
he retranscribes on paper, the fabric or through the sculpture, different instantaneous catch on the ground. Admiror of animalist painters like
Reboussin, Oberthur, Leon Danchin, Riab… he follows 5 years of artistic studies at the Art School of Rennes where he practises the drawing,
painting, engraving, the sculpture and the lithography. Installed in 1976, he will own his workshop of lithography in 1985 where he carries
out his lithographic works according to the original lithographic technique of 1796 on stone and on a 1830 press. In 1990 he opened his
"museum and workshop of animalist art" where the visitors can discover his paintings of woodcocks, his lithographies of woodcocks, his bronzes
of woodcocks.
