Florent Kubler is a contemporary French painter and visual artist whose work and approach are deeply marked by travel and human exploration.
Background and beginnings:
Born in 1988, Florent Kubler has been passionate about drawing and painting from a very young age. He attended the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Nancy (the Beaux-Arts), where he graduated with a design specialty in 2009. During his studies, he developed a multifaceted profile, touching on drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, and inventive object design.
The formative travel experience:
Refusing to confine himself immediately to a studio, he chose solo travel as a form of alternative and superior education. In January 2012, at the age of 23, he left Place Stanislas in Nancy to embark on a round-the-world hitchhiking journey.
This formative journey stretched across several continents. He traversed North America, the Mediterranean, Europe end-to-end, North Africa to the south, then Asia, then Oceania...
Practicing hitchhiking, walking, train travel, and even sailing, and with little financial resources at the start, he used his talent as currency. His drawings, watercolors, and live sketches were exchanged for kilometers, meals, or accommodations.
To soak up the local realities, he also took on various small jobs as opportunities arose. This total immersion gave birth to travel journals that are extremely dense, blending sociological sketches and photographs.
These long journeys are intense and sometimes adventurous, marked by extreme experiences ranging from encounters with fascinating people and cultures to racketeering, imprisonment, or expulsion.
Artistic style and themes:
Back in France, Florent Kubler devoted himself fully to his artistic practice in Nancy. Enriched by his encounters around the world, his art explores the complexities of existence and the essence of humanity.
His paintings and drawings primarily capture moving scenes of life, seeking to translate social reality and the poetry of everyday life. His work, colorful and expressive, is regularly featured in national and international exhibitions. His creations and projects can be followed on platforms for contemporary art diffusion such as Artsper, Artmajeur. He is also present on traditional networks (Instagram, Facebook).
Florent Kubler’s work centers on capturing movement and spontaneity, directly inherited from his years of sketching the world on the fly.
An expressionist and figurative painting:
His style is part of the new figuration. He strives to represent the human figure, not in an academic way, but through dynamic attitudes, postures, and expressions. His subjects often adopt fluid, almost dancing poses.
The artist uses mixed media—oil paint, acrylics, pastels, or even India ink. He favors bold, broad, and confident brushstrokes. This visible texture imparts a sense of energy and spontaneity to the canvas, giving the impression that the work was created in the urgency of the moment.
His color palette varies, often combining vibrant hues with minimalist backgrounds or moodier palettes (such as blues and browns). He plays strongly with light and shadow to give volume and a three-dimensional dimension to his moving silhouettes.
His images have found places with numerous international collectors and have been published in various journals (CAN, JDB-Bateau Genɇve, Bedford Street...).
It is the human being and its complexities that animate his images, from life scenes to explorations of the body and movement.
