ABOUT THE ARTIST
THIBAULT BARRÈRE (1988) is a French painter and engraver. He studied at The Angel Academy where he completed the Fundamental program.
Since then he has been exploring the craft and techniques of painting. Following old and contemporary recipes, he finds pleasure in grinding his paint, making his mediums, as well as building his canvases and panels.
He starts developing his works with sketches from imagination which are followed by live studies.
The narrative of his work relies on several mythologies, with the attempt of a greater understanding of humanity itself.
He finds inspiration in the Baroque movement, more specifically in the design, palette, and the use of light that dominated that era.
Through his art he attempts to capture the essence of our contemporary society, making portraits of the people that have an impact in the political, cultural and social scene.
Currently, the artist, lives and works in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. His works have been exhibited around Europe and Mexico and can also be found in private collections.
