Paul Signac was a French painter and graphic artist and, alongside Georges Seurat, the most important artist of Neo-Impressionism or Pointillism. He was an artist who left his mark on the art world with his unique technique and vibrant color palette.

He was born in Paris in 1863. Influenced by Claude Monet, he began his career with landscape paintings and then discovered marine painting.

Together with Georges Seurat, he developed pointillism in eighteen hundred and eighty-four by juxtaposing pigments of pure color in countless dots.

He later settled in Saint-Tropez, painted coastal scenes and further developed Neo-Impressionism.
In addition to his work as a painter, in 1911 he wrote the book "From Eugène Delacroix to Neo-Impressionism.

He was a pioneer of pointillism, a technique in which small dots of different colors are placed next to each other to allow the viewer's eye to mix them. This technique lent his works a luminous intensity and captivating vibrancy.

He mainly painted landscapes, seascapes and city scenes. He was also known for his maritime scenes, especially depictions of boats and sailing ships. The port of Saint-Tropez was a recurring motif in his work.
His famous works include:
The painting "The Port of Saint-Tropez". Here he depicts the bustling scene through the use of vivid colors and precise dots

The painting "The Pine Tree of Saint Tropez" exudes a calming atmosphere and illustrates Signac's ability to convey emotion through color.

"The Port of Rotterdam" shows the dynamics of urban life, with the reflections in the water impressively captured.

Signac left behind an impressive life's work of more than 700 paintings and countless drawings and watercolors. His contribution to the art world extends beyond his own work, as he was a committed promoter of Neo-Impressionism.
