Christian Marini was born in Marseille on September 1, 1946.

He creates, he says, without worrying about the present or the artistic past that artists usually feed on.

He rejects all forms of deliberate influences, created in a world that belongs only to him, a little distant from contemporary artistic life, he is sincere.

The discourse is a chosen one, the visual is another, and one cannot help spontaneously evoking, when looking at and listening to his work, multiple artistic resonances mixed with a very personal, intimate authenticity, a disturbing inner truth reflecting his joys, his hopes, his sufferings.
