In this beautiful watercolor book, Fabrice Moireau takes us on a journey to discover an entirely new vision of the French capital. Explore a unique perspective of Paris in the company of an exceptional watercolorist and the captivating texts of Carl Norac.
Fabrice Moireau embarked on an extraordinary artistic adventure to capture a unique perspective of Paris. The artist did not hesitate to knock on doors, sneak into buildings, and take risks to offer us breathtaking panoramic views.
His goal? Varying perspectives to highlight the most famous monuments, public places, and lesser-known corners of Paris. He aimed to provide fresh angles and new visions of this metropolis that fascinates the world. Mission accomplished!
This work shows us a completely new, unique, and almost unreal vision of the rooftops of Paris. Fabrice Moireau explores the ingenuity of Parisians in protecting themselves from rain, wind, and monotony. Through this work and the words of Carl Norac, we navigate through a world in levitation and a unique Parisian atmosphere. The book “Rooftops of Paris” is not just a watercolor sketchbook; it is a poetic journey of the capital seen from above.
Carl Norac, born in Belgium, is the son of a writer and an actress. As a poet and playwright, his work was honored in 2009 with the Grand Prize from the Society of Men of Letters in Paris and the Charles-Plisnier Prize in Belgium. He has published over 40 titles to date and has been translated into 18 languages.
Fabrice Moireau, born in 1962, graduated from the National School of Applied Arts and Crafts. From his numerous travels, he brings back sketchbooks that serve as cultural and ethnographic testimonies. Passionate about architecture, gardens, and plants in general, his ambition is to convey, through watercolors, the subtlety of the play of light and the atmosphere of a street or landscape.
