Grégory Ubeda is a French artist, born in May 1970, in Ris-Orangis, a suburb of Paris.
He offers skilled and original work of a glaring humanity.
From very young, he already knew to detect in himself a mystique beyond the religious aura. This pushes him to express his furtive perceptions of the Universe, such as many potential voices “able to speak to each one his natal language”. (Beaudelaire)
The painter has pinned his impulses on the inextinguishable desire of boundless spaces, of sparkling lines reflecting in hollow perspectives, of the relationship between light and shimmering colours emerging from an indefinable darkness.
The artist draws the elements of his creations in the enigmatic fishpond of Tobago’s shores where he lives. He finds them again in the telluric mythologies which haunt the collective unconsciousness of the island. And as such, like so many immemorial battles, his work finds its equilibrium within these confrontations. The balance is also reached through the Dionysian vitality as a counterpoint to the powerful coloured harmony. It is, then as if during a flash of lucidity, “implicit coherences” spring up.
