An “Art Included” club at Lac de Serre-Ponçon
Landscapes, animals or abstract compositions, it is at Serre-du-Villard that you will discover the very original work of Jean-Marc Haroutiounian, a painter who become – a musician!
For this most unusual painter, art is first and foremost a matter of relationships between beings. Whether painting or playing base guitar, the main thing for him is to share and communicate with others; and if he chose today to give up painting so as to devote himself to music and acting (which he has done alongside Florent Pagny, Michel Sardou and Céline Dion) it is with the same energy and the same ideal. All his works, which entered the Vacances Bleues collection in the 80's and 90's, are now collected in Les Horizons du Lac (Serre-du-Villard).
