Life

As a painter and sculptor, Jean Vérame deals with the dimension of the landscape and the development of nomadic art around the world. His interventions in the landscape refer to local art forms and his works are their further development.

In 1968 he built stone mountains near Mouton Anu (Alpes-Maritimes department) and crystal cliffs in the mountains of Castelet (Alpes-Maritimes department).
