JEAN FRANCOIS

Jean-François, the Uncrowned Influencer

Before the term "influencer" was coined, Jean-François was already captivating audiences with his extraordinary talents. As a child, he would mesmerize family and friends with impromptu performances—singing, conjuring magic tricks, and defying gravity with circus-style feats. His early experiences laid the foundation for a life dedicated to artistic expression and performance.

In his youth, Jean-François crossed paths with the legendary Franco Dragone, the visionary behind Cirque du Soleil. Together, they explored the boundaries of performance art, blending street theater with avant-garde concepts. Meanwhile, he honed his artistic skills at the prestigious Academy of Beaux-Arts, where he delved into the world of fine art.

His performances were as diverse as they were innovative. From the bustling streets to upscale shopping malls, Jean-François fearlessly showcased his abilities. He walked tightropes, conjured illusions, and painted breathtaking masterpieces before live audiences. His artistic journey took him around the globe, from painting miniature scenes on women's nails to creating large-scale canvases that captured the essence of his dreams.

A pivotal moment in his career was his live painting of Pope John Paul II before a crowd of thousands. This groundbreaking performance catapulted him to international fame, leading to commissions from world leaders, celebrities, and corporate titans. He painted portraits of Nelson Mandela, royalty, and Fortune 500 CEOs, becoming a sought-after artist and performer.

Jean-François's unique blend of performance art, magic, and comedy made him the most in-demand entertainer on the corporate event circuit. His high-energy shows, coupled with his ability to connect with audiences on a personal level, made him a favorite among event planners worldwide.

His career reached new heights in Las Vegas, where his show "Extreme Art" became a sensation. Critics hailed him as the "Entertainer of the Year," and his performances were a highlight of the Las Vegas Strip.

Beyond the stage, Jean-François continues to inspire and amaze. He shares his time between special appearances, art exhibitions, and one-man shows. His legacy as a true pioneer of performance art and a visionary artist lives on, reminding us that creativity knows no bounds.

Paint With the Great whites

They scoff at the timid, those who whisper about newfound confidence. Confidence blooms from mastery, they sneer.And mastery, well that comes from staring down your fears and conquering them, not tiptoeing around them.

For me, the ocean held a dual lure. The whispering call of the deep, a siren song since childhood, and the undeniable pull of creation, a painter's soul blooming on the canvas. So, I weaved these passions together, a symphony of risk and reward.My studio? A steel cage plunged into the inky abyss, a canvas surrounded by the prehistoric ballet of great white sharks.From Guadalupe island on the coast of Baja Mexico to South Africa, the Great Barrier Reef my witness, I painted these leviathans in their natural domain.

The fear, though? It gnawed at me. A single sighting, a flash of fin off the Oregon coast, had sent shivers down my spine.But that was the beauty of the journey, wasn't it? The destination wasn't just a location, it was a conquering. So, I returned to Oregon, the very place that had tested my resolve. This time, however, the cage remained on the shore. Just me, my paints, and the troubled water teeming with the apex predators.

RED ROCK CANYON, YOSEMITE TO K2

Painting from my summits

Forget summits, forget the tired trope of conquering mountains. We climbers aren't flag-planting egomaniacs, battling each other for bragging rights. We have a more intimate dance with the rock face, a personal odyssey that began years ago for me, growing up in the shadow of a legend the French Alpes- now in my new backyard the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area in Las Vegas.

Those walls, those routes, cradled by the Mojave sun, became an obsession. El Capitan in Yosemite, the ultimate test,loomed large. But the ascent wasn't just about the peak, it was about the canvas. There's a certain audacity, a defiance of gravity, in wielding a brush halfway up a sheer rock face. El Capitan became my Everest, not of conquest, but of artistic expression. Sure, I didn't "summit" K2, that day, but I found my perfect perch, my ideal vantage point to capture the soul of that killer mountain.

It's not about the top, folks. It's about defining your own summit, pushing your own limits, and finding the perfect place to plant your flag - be it a metaphorical summit or a literal brushstroke on the side of a cliff. We climbers aren't competing, we're co-creating a personal odyssey with the rock face as our partner. So, forget the competition, find your own damn summit, and paint your masterpiece on the way up.

Be your full potential
