Le Mur des Lamentations (2022) Painting by Xavier Hiriart

Although Xavier Hiriart has been living in Brussels for over twenty years now, it was in France, in Thionville to be precise, that Xavier was born in 1960.

At the age of 22 he moved to the South of France where he travelled the roads of Provence and the Gard as a sales agent.

Very early on Xavier became interested in art and it was through music that he began to exercise his first talents by participating in numerous groups as a guitarist and banjoist. He chose the intermittent show business to devote himself more seriously to music.

After numerous concerts in France and abroad, Xavier also became interested in computers and decided in 2000, after training and improving his skills in this field, to move to Brussels.

After a few attempts to develop applications for PC, Android and IOS, Xavier keeps a keen eye on music and painting, which gradually starts to "tickle" him. It is as a perfect self-taught artist that he will give birth to his first paintings.

Xavier is currently working in the computer industry in the Brussels region. In parallel to his professional activity, he devotes himself to feeding his Youtube channel dedicated to his instrumental practice, and continues to explore, through the regular production of paintings, his pictorial universe.
