What people say ...   Perinotto's passion and genuine talent were recognized in 1992, when he was invited to join the selected group of French Official Aviation Artists. His black and white oil paintings quickly gained him a strong reputation. He was a guest of the Guild of Aviation Artists on multiple occasions. Today, he is undoubtedly the most talented French aviation artist.   With a simple and effective style, combined with an incredible handling of light, his work has an exceptionnal vitality. Perinotto also likes playing with shades and colours; his colour paintings show a particular bias towards deep blue colours.    Perinotto is passionate about propliners and WW II fighters. With his planes, you hear the noise of the engines, you feel the stress of a pilot engaged in an air combat, you share the thrill of cruising above the North Atlantic ocean on a Constellation.    Perinotto's style remains unique: in each of his paintings, a legendary airplane, seen from a particular angle that makes you feel part of the action, is the heroe. Perinotto likes to picture subtle, but authentic details which give his paintings a formidable sense of reality and nostalgy.
