Valéry-Paul Guichon is a contemporary French-born painter, born in 1964 in Annecy (Haute-Savoie). Having spent part of his childhood between France and Switzerland, he developed very early a deep passion for visual arts, with a strong preference for abstract and non-objective two-dimensional art.
After years marked by intense personal experiences, he eventually settled in Las Vegas, where he has been living and creating for several years. This iconic city, with its electric energy, intense neon lights, flamboyant casinos and dreamlike atmosphere, has become, among other things, a major source of inspiration for his work.
Style and themes
Valéry-Paul excels in acrylic painting on canvas, often enhanced with an ultra-gloss epoxy coating that gives his works an almost three-dimensional depth, a mirror effect and a captivating shine. His creations explore themes such as:
-
Unity and harmony (the “Unity” series),
-
Iconic urban and architectural symbols,
-
Contrasts between light, color and movement.
Among his notable works are pieces directly inspired by Las Vegas (such as “Unity ##0020 – Las Vegas”), but also tributes to other mythical places such as the Eiffel Tower (“Eiffel Tower #0001”). His abstract approach captures the vibrant essence of “Sin City”: chromatic explosions, plays of light, and fluid forms evoking the Strip at night, without ever falling into literal figuration.
Buying his paintings
The works of Valéry-Paul are available for purchase mainly through his own website, where he offers original pieces from his “Unity” series (for example Unity #0018, Unity #0011, etc.). Each canvas is unique, signed, and often accompanied by a certificate or a detailed description by the artist.
Prices and formats vary depending on size and complexity, but they are generally medium to large formats, perfect for modern interiors or collections inspired by the Las Vegas lifestyle.
Custom canvases – Las Vegas inspiration
Valéry-Paul also offers custom creations (personalized commissions). If you dream of an original work capturing the spirit of Las Vegas – the Strip’s neon lights, the Bellagio fountains, a night view of the High Roller, a glamorous casino atmosphere, or even an abstract interpretation of your own personal experience in the city – you can commission a piece from him.
To do so, contact him directly via his social profiles or via his website:

He will be happy to discuss your ideas, your preferred colors, desired dimensions and the precise inspiration (for example: an abstract painting evoking the buzz of the Fremont Street Experience, or a more minimalist piece inspired by the lights of the surrounding desert).
In a world where Las Vegas embodies dreams, excess and constant reinvention, the paintings of Valéry-Paul Guichon capture its vibrant and luminous essence.
Having one of his works at home is like bringing a little of that Nevada magic into your everyday life.
