Jacques Kédochim, a French Painter living in Paris, began his artistic training at the Atelier de la
Vigne within the prestigious École d’Étampes, directed by Philippe Lejeune.
He joined the Académie de Port-Royal (formerly the Académie Julian), where he graduated as
the Grand Prix winner after completing a four-year program.
Jacques Kédochim is a member of the Taylor Foundation, a member of the Salon des Artistes
Français, and the Salon d’Automne. He is part of the “Figurative Destructuralism” movement and
has been awarded several prestigious prizes from institutions and internationally recognized salons.
Inspired by the energy of metropolitan cities, Jacques Kédochim explores the relationship between
man and the city through a vibrant, introspective, and profoundly human painting style. His
work, influenced by an aesthetic that touches on Expressionism and Fauvism, boldly and
inventively combines abstraction and figuration.
