About this artwork
The Deceiver explores human duplicity through a fragmented figure, both expressive and disturbing.
The face, distorted by inner tension, seems to oscillate between truth and dissimulation.
The snake, coiled around the body, stands as a silent symbol of cunning and manipulation. It does not emerge as a threat, but as an intimate presence, almost inseparable from the being.
Through raw materials and pronounced impasto, I wanted to translate this… unstable boundary between what is shown and what is hidden.
The work questions the sincerity of human relationships, where appearances sometimes take precedence over authenticity.

Credentials
- Works on commission
Steeve Grangier is a self-taught Swiss painter and sculptor who has been painting outside of academic circles since 1983. His practice explores oil painting, impasto applied with a palette knife, and the integration of raw organic elements—such as the vine roots incorporated into the Noctis Corpus series.
His technique is characterized by a raw and figurative neo-expressionism, where the expressive distortion of the body and face, as well as spontaneous gestures, convey the instability of being. He seeks to capture the energy and constant mutation of identity, transmitting an intense inner tension through each canvas.
Member represented by the Circle Foundation for the Arts, which awarded him the Creative Excellence Prize (2026) for The Bottle Man. Candidate for the Arte Laguna Prize 2026 (Arsenale Nord, Venice).
