Hugues Elbe has always been passionate about the visual arts.
What the child cannot express in words is often found in his drawings.
Sometimes the child becomes an artist.
This Passion was nourished through his studies (teacher training college in the 70s), his profession as a teacher (you can learn a lot from the eyes of children), and like everyone, from what he found throughout his life in his daily environment, his travels, his encounters and the multiplicity of existing works.
That which can inspire desire, joy, indignation, revolt is a source of creation.
The incomprehension of the absurd part of the world and of life also takes on a lot of importance.
He therefore does not conceive of the image as a setting but as an expression beyond words.
The technique is only there to sublimate the intention.
The media he uses are photography, digital montages, various collages and acrylic painting, etc., if only for the pleasure that this always unique contact with the material provides.
Today, he devotes himself fully to these expressions.
