Since he was a child, he has found himself, if i may say so, in a cocoon of art - his grandfather, henri bernard de la croix, renowned earthenware maker, allowed him to rub shoulders with many talented artists and in his company the hereditary path was all found for a loner wanting to impose himself by hard work, constantly improving himself, imposing himself by the solidity of the design and above all seeking light, always more light as goethe said. ! going in front of the sun not to stop it like joshua, but to translate it, with love, to be moved by a flower, a boat which waddles, a pink dwelling which is reflected in the water, that is a bernadac. Everyone knows his style, his way which throws full color on the canvas and models it in rigorous volumes according to the inspiration of his knife, finding both violent contrasts in the mediterranean midday, as the miraculous transparency of the waters. In the infinite sweetness of the evening. Bernadac is the painter of drunkenness in the composition of a bouquet, in the radiance of a veil drying on a sleepy tartane or the nostalgia of the murky sea that ends on the stairs of a palace in venice , not to mention, the old chapel splashed with sunlight protected by the tall dark cypresses. Elie bernadac, plays with his virtuoso gifts and his exhibitions both in france and abroad, are so successful. From saint-paul-de-vence where he exhibits permanently, via america, canada, germany, belgium, switzerland, italy, england, many collectors are interested in his creations. Elie bernadac does not seek a singularity, a bizarre way of expressing himself, he is realistic and applies himself to identifying reality but reality, he poetizes it! this allows, by browsing the picture rail of his studio gallery, to find the real art that defies time and fashion a little to leave our hearts in joy, under the spell, enthusiasm, deep emotion, of a sensitive artist with a rich personality and whose palette remains dazzling.
