Philippe Pasqua

Philippe Pasqua is a French contemporary artist born in 1965, known for his large-scale figurative paintings that explore themes of mortality, beauty, and the human condition. His work is characterized by intense, expressive portraiture and figure studies often rendered in bold, visceral brushwork, drawing comparisons to Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud. Pasqua has gained international recognition through major gallery exhibitions and auction sales, and has also expanded his practice into sculpture, notably creating monumental butterfly sculptures that have been displayed in public spaces worldwide.
