Even though Pierre Desjardins became a physicist and went on to a career in telecommunications, he was born a painter. He began a new life at the age of 52 when he took up his paint brushes again, although he had never completely put them aside. Now he dedicates himself exclusively to his art. Pierre paints light, following the lead of his emotions and joins the ranks of the great Impressionist school of painters.

More than ten years later, Pierre Desjardins confides, "I am always in search of luminosity and I pursue that special something that still escapes me, a unique recipe, a certain light à la Desjardins, a light that can communicate all the complexity and the poetry of contemporary urban life".
