Carrière (2022) Painting by Barbour

Self-taught, I ended up starting with acrylic for its speed of execution then gouache for its ease of use. Today oil allows me to create much bolder colored compositions. After following several methods, I ended up receiving training from a teacher at the school of fine arts.

I let myself be inspired by my emotions, by light and the sun. It's about getting out of the grayness of everyday life to have another look, an offbeat look at the world around us. See things differently through the prism of emotions, of desires to try to magnify it, to see it differently and to discover other enchanting aspects.

It’s this leitmotif that guides my hand.
