Philippe Juttens

Chambésy, Switzerland
Artist (Painting, Drawing)
Born 1959
My heart swings between figuration and abstraction ...

Pictorial art is my passion and reason for being. Between figuration (studied at the St-Luc Institute in Tournai with Messrs Salembier and Roland) and abstraction (studied at the St-Luc Institute in Brussels with Madame Wery and Monsieur Carlier) my heart balance since always... I sometimes try to combine the 2 categories into 'abstract landscapes', to avoid this dilemma.

My figurative painting in oil on canvas uses glazes and thin translucent layers because at the start of my secondary studies, I studied at the Technical Institute of Mouscron decoration painting (with learning in particular fake wood and glazed marble). I particularly like blue (the color of my eyes); blue green and orange red. I paint my landscapes (when possible) from life with the final touches in the studio or from photos. My favorite subjects are Geneva, Venice and the Alps, but I also like to create paintings on poppy fields and the North Sea.

My abstract painting is mainly "surface-support" on large formats (in monochrome or close to monochrome) made in mixed technique (with the opposition of white spirit and water) and painted with a roller.

I was born in Mouscron in 1959, in Belgium
