Having begun to paint under the master  Eugène Baboulène of the "Ecole des Beaux Arts" in Toulon, Geral is nowdays working between  home in the Var, South of France, and the Arteum and A.I.L. workshops association of painters respectively based in Chateau-Neuf le Rouge and Rousset, at the foot of the Sainte-Victoire mountain - so celebrated by Paul Cezanne.
Most certainly influenced by the unique light of Provence which inspired so many painters ranging from those of L'Estaque to Van Gogh during his stay in Arles - and many others - Geral is building works of art very rich in colours.
