Fabien Delaube - Esmeralda

In this work, I explore the complexities of human identity. Using oil in an expressionist, surrealist, and symbolic style, I depict a fragmented face where vivid colors struggle to emerge from a façade that is otherwise neutral and structured. This painting invites viewers to reflect on what lies behind the appearances we present to the world. It will bring depth and conversation to any living space. It is painted with acrylics and then high-quality oils on a linen canvas. Sold rolled in a reinforced cardboard tube.

Fabien Delaube is a prize-winning painter whose works have been exhibited in France, Belgium, Germany, Canada, and China. The French artist is fascinated by the symbol of the mask—the mask that everyone wears—and what they hide. The mirror-like effect that Delaube’s pieces confer reinforces the true nature of his subjects. He often begins his compositions with acrylic, finishing with oil, patina, and impasto.
