Michel Calvet was born in 1956 in Toulouse, France. After finishing his secondary education, Calvet went on to study at the School of Fine Arts in Paris. Initially embarking on a career as a jazz musician, Calvet soon found a greater need to express himself and it was then that he turned his primary focus to painting and worked on mastering his skills of drawing, pastels and watercolors.

Paris, Honfleur, Deauville, Nice, Biot, Toulouse, Pau, Cannes Bordeaux, Biarritz, Montpellier, China, Germany and New York are among the long list of places Calvet has exhibited along with regular showings in galleries in Toulon, Lyon and Paris. Collectors of his work can be found across the United States, Canada, Japan, Norway, England, Germany, and France. Simpatico Gallery is not only thrilled, but equally honored to show the work of such an accomplished artist.
