French sculptor and painter Pierre Carron, 83, is presenting a world of innocence and fantasy through his dozens of oil paintings of children, which are shown at the National Art Museum of China. He created illusive scenes in which time and space, colors and lights were interwoven. The works are bursting with passion for life and art. Carron studied at the School of Fine Arts in Paris in 1951. He was elected chairman of the Academy of Fine Arts in 2002.
