Fabien Delaube - Samo

Portrait of JM Bsquiat, private collection. In this work, I explore the complexities of human identity and the interaction between our social masks and our inner truth. Using oil in an expressionist, surrealist, and symbolic style, I depict a fragmented face where vivid colors struggle to emerge from a otherwise neutral and structured facade. 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.

Fabien Delaube is an award-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 everyone wears, and what they hide. The mirror-like effect created by Delaube’s pieces reinforces the true nature of his subjects. He often begins his compositions with acrylic, finishing in oil, patina, and paste.
