Born into a family of painters and collectors related to Otto van Veen, Peter Paul Rubens' teacher,[1] Arnaud Courlet de Vregille began to draw at a very early age and subsequently embarked on a painting-career : paintings, murals (fresco), theatre decors.

In the words of the artists, he paints his canvases both impulsively and after a phase of blending and condensing which are the fruits of lengthy period of preparation within himself.

He marks some of his works with an often partially concealed circle of solitude which shatters to evoke the moment when reality become fragile and crakcks, giving way to the invisible as well as displaying the pulzzing conspicuousness of visible.

On the occasion of the bicentenary exhibition of Claude Nicolas Ledoux (renowned French architect of the 18th century) at the Royal Saltworks in Arc-et-Senans, Franche-Comté (site listed as World Heritage by Unesco), the catalog Le deuxième regard wrote : "The painting of Courlet de Vregille enters into an almost natural relation with the inspiration of Ledoux; indeed both explore those paths which Bachelard referred to as "materialised imagination, that spiritual place where all forms of art converge and meet.

L'Eden Théâtre, heritage label of the 20th century, was restored in 2013 within the framework of Marseille-Provence 2013, European capital of culture.
