Nean - Fabien Hupin was born in 1991. He lives and works in Brussels.
Self-taught, the capture of the suspended moment quickly became the central subject of his paintings. His poetic approach addresses the relationship between humans and their environment.
Concerned to use his art as a vehicle for emotions, he draws his inspiration from music, whose titles become those of his works.
Melody as a starting point, determines the colors and sensitive materials of the scenes he paints.
Renowned for his treatment of light, his work is realistic, whether on walls, on canvases or drawings. His confident, precise gestures reflect a desire to get as close to the truth as possible.
Cinema also inspires his framing and composition.
He plays with shots, sometimes defined, sometimes superimposed, as if to accentuate immersion and bring us closer to the narrative.
His figurative approach plunges us into a contemplative experience.
His creations seem to open softened perspectives, creating a dreamlike dimension that he infuses into our cities, inviting us to reappropriate our public spaces.
