Jean-Jacques Ceccarelli, born in Marseille on September 20, 1948, lives and works (intensively) in Marseille.

A self-taught artist with an abundance of inspiration, Jean-Jacques Ceccarelli combines a deep sense of reality with boundless imagination. Thanks to this alchemy, he recreates the world, and for this reason some have not hesitated to present him as a "new Darwin", fusing the rational and the bizarre through a fabulous bestiary, populated by human-animal hybrids, mutants engaging in strange face-to-face encounters, fantastic beings, idols or gods.
