Born in 1960 in the Loiret region in France, Roger Dame has been drawing since he was a child and start painting in gouache at 14.
 
Through his very varied works, he seeks a freeze frame of present or past time. His specialty is oil painting on linen canvas. He also works on high quality papier graphite and colored lead. Roger Dame is particularly fascinated by hyperrealism. His technique is classic and remains traditional: sketch by thin grisaille, then painting, retouching, details, and multiple glazes.
