Jean-Marie Gitard (aka Mr. Strange), a painter and digital artist, draws inspiration from the surrealism of Dali, Magritte, and Hooper. Using photomanipulation and digital collage techniques, with occasional use of oil paint, he creates enigmatic works imbued with absurdity. His pieces, blending poetry and sharp critique, evoke surprise, curiosity, and reflection by straddling the line between the real world and the imaginary.
