Julien Claustre’s route starts with his progress through history of art. Drawing constitutes his original language from which colour follows. Research for material and line expresses a spiritual narrative, a sensitive and sensible story. His still works of art enable anyone to look at a sensitivity expressed with his heart. The infinite star’s representation symbolizes his spirit. The discovery of his emotional language is lined up as a personal codex.
His art sketches a unification of all types of research to arouse some kind of true emotion. In each work of art there is a soul and by searching it our artist, such as an alchemist, creates a universal journey enriched by the people he meets beyond the canvas. The artist invites us to understand the different ways of reading his work, his mythology. He encourages us to discover hidden signs through the mirror of his own perception of harmony.
With his intuitive way to materialize space, to retranscrive art sciences as a path towards harmony, articulates the time of a moving era by exploring the 21st century with a sensitive, controlled and expressive palette.
Witness of the present time, he delivers his poetic, subtle and lyrical motives.
He takes over oil painting, pigments and endow with his art from representation to expression, an organic echo of the material, changing places and shapes, luminous and vibrating colors.
Where symbol rubs shoulders with feeling intensity, Julien Claustre emotion painted work, gets its real dimension in Paris, by emphasizing intimate to universal, in a perpetual renewal of artistic and cultural creation.
Near the Hilamaya, he had his first artistic creation, that aroused in him spirituality and the contemplation of nature.
At 16 years old, he joined the International Art School Émile Cohl. He perfected his drawing techniques, considering that the mastery of drawing constitutes an essential step to achieve freedom in the pictorial expression.
Near Ocean, he deepened oil painting for its range of luminosity and authentic nature.
Settled in Paris, he has constantly questioned the modern painters to make his own way and the contemporary art way. Share the view that the creation doesn’t exit without the knowledge of tradition.
Inspired by the painters’ experiences, Julien Claustre aims to interpret the beauty that lies in each place.
Traveling to different continents contributes to form his eye on the world which surrounds him for his own contemporary interpretation.
Travels have consolidated my soul of artist. Over time, I have learned to become as patient as demanding, as committed as passionate. I lived the experienced of self-confidence, feeling, achievement of the work. I aimed to require the very essence of the painting which is to create an universal language, with my own words. As such, I have never stopped browsing through the history of the Art with a high interest in the cultures of the world.
