Attracted from an early age by drawing and painting, Charles MICHEL directed, to provide training, numerous copies of the great classic masters and has documented himself in numerous journals and technical works, notably collecting the enlightened advice of Mr. Xavier de Langlais, teacher at the School of Fine Arts in Rennes.
He favored as subjects, the landscapes of the Limousin region, by striving to move through a delicate execution, but whose rigor makes it a finished work of quality.

His painting is solid, applied most often in glaze, giving transparency and depth to his creations
