Hugo Duras

Yes! I sold my first gouache in an art gallery at the age of fifteen, and that's when I wanted to be an artist!
Today, my paintings are marked by obvious influences linked by my history, my environment, my emotions, by my interventions with young audiences, or even by a post-impressionist and surrealist period that I particularly like.
I like playing hide and seek with shapes, materials and colors.
With a free hand, I have fun creating numerous improvised scenographies with a somewhat naive, childish and poetic appearance.
I use different techniques and media, mixing figurative and abstract styles that I like to call “figurabstract”. I also work with painting as a sculptural material, which today leads me to create more monumental works, Street Art and sculpture.
