# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Paul Victor Jules Signac was born 11 November 1863 in France. Working alongside Georges Seurat, he helped develop Pointillism — the technique of building images from small, distinct points of pure color. A dedicated sailor, he channeled that devotion into his art: seascapes, harbors, and riversides became his primary subject, the shimmering surfaces ideal for his methodical dots. He painted ports and water for decades, refining the approach long after Seurat's early death. Signac died 15 August 1935, leaving behind a body of work that made rigorous optical theory look like light on waves.
