Biography

Philippe Thuriet is a self-taught painter, drawing artist, sculptor and poet born in 1969 in Dijon, France.

Drawing has always been a part of his life. His pencils, sanguine chalk, charcoals... are his oxygen. He realizes on paper many nudes of those around him, their portraits, singular drawings etc.

Graduated in Cabinet making of Art and Marquetry, he naturally turned to wood carving, then iron and also modeling. He then makes the fundamental encounter with oil painting that he first approached with the knife technique with a sculptor’s soul before marrying his brushes to refine his paintings. He painted portraits of renowned artists who inspired the evolution of his being.

He naturally creates a geometry on the different media he uses to calculate each proportion of his artworks.

His passion for the Arts and his versatility allow him to use different materials and develop various creative techniques, thus pushing him to periodically explore other artistic styles such as the cubist movement.

"Painting is letting your soul speak" according to him, that he expresses and realizes for over thirty years in his universe called "My surreal soul".

His creations develop in phases and states between his conscious and his subconscious. Consciously, he begins to draw his creatures with a pencil on the canvas until he takes over his paintbrushes.

There, the magic happens… He is the matter, the tubes of paint his body envelope. He becomes the paintbrush of his soul. He perceives, captures his creatures and makes them evolve as much as they make him evolve.

Why do they exist? Why are they there? Are they already us now or will we become “them” after our passage on this Earth?

They invite us to question ourselves about who we are internally… and even meditate.

What past, what future awaits us? Are we active or passive? Spectators or actors of our Life?

The artist wishes to share and present his vision of a world or our future led him to exhibit in France before being launched into an international career.

He extends you to enter in his unique and unusual world inhabited by his creatures...
