Dominique Poupard
Born in 1953, Dominique Poupard lives and works between France and Spain. Trained in fine arts in the early 1970s, he has been developing a unique artistic journey for over fifty years, nourished by painting, sculpture, design, crafts, and interior decoration.
After a career in the paint industry, and then nearly twenty years dedicated to sculpture, design, and the creation of art jewelry, he returned to painting with a deep understanding of materials, colors, and textures. This return is not a break, but the culmination of a long creative path where each experience enriches his artistic language.
His contemporary work is built around matter that is worked, transformed, sometimes scarred. Dominique Poupard combines textures, reliefs, fabrics, corrugated cardboard, metallic patinas, and surface effects to create powerful compositions, dominated by blacks, bronzes, coppers, and metallic nuances. His painting explores the tensions of the current world, its ruptures, its uncertainties, and the traces left by time.
Through what he calls the wounds of matter, the artist asserts an approach that is both aesthetic and symbolic. The surface becomes memory, imprint, testimony. Behind the visual elegance of his works lies a clear reflection on our era, conveyed by a dense, tactile, and deeply personal painting.
Represented in France and Spain, Dominique Poupard’s work is now recognized by collectors and galleries, with a growing presence on the international art scene.
