Philippe Loubat

Artist from Montpellier, Philippe Loubat is a resolutely optimistic painter and this is reflected in his paintings!

His universe is colorful, poetic and romantic and the themes covered are love, human relations, mythology, dreams, circus, music, art history.

Strongly inspired by literature and cinema, Philippe Loubat slips into his works winks at Lewis Carroll, Haruki Murakami, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton or Federico Fellini.

If his paintings often seem autobiographical, it is because he stores everything he sees, everything he experiences, without putting any label on it and without trying to analyze it. He gently lets his subconscious guide him onto the canvas, painting almost without thinking about it.

One has the feeling, seeing his paintings, that he poetizes reality, that he softens it to make it more beautiful.

And if his characters often seem to float, it's because he paints their soul more than their bodily envelope.
