Delgado Dupre

I was born in Lima, Peru and I live and work in Paris, France. Moving to Paris 20 years ago is what inspired me to start practicing art. I first started with modelage (sculpture) in diverse ateliers like ABA Ateliers, Carroussel du Louvre and then decided to move to painting in my search for color. Integrating the Art Plastique prorgramme at La Sorbonne Paris 1 in the middle of the sanitary crisis made me rethink my artistic career. Today Art is a driving force in my life.

Photography, nature and the news press inspire me the most to describe, through painting, emotions and the world that surrounds us. Living between France and Peru, I feel a need to be in contact with different societies, their people and their history. Curiosity and observation nourishes my imaginary world in search for light and color.

I work with different supports such as paper, wood, jute and linen canvas. My mediums are ink, pencil, charcoal, acrylic and oil paint, collage.
