Fabien Delaube - Minos II

Fabien Delaube - Minos II

Minos, king of Crete. In this work, I explore the complexities of human identity and the interplay 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 an otherwise neutral and structured façade. 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, as well as what they hide. The mirror-like effect conveyed by Delaube's pieces reinforces the true nature of his subjects. He often begins his compositions with acrylic, finishing with oil, patina, and modeling paste.
