Biography
Born in 1966, Santiago de Chile, CL
Lives and works in Paris, FR
Humberto Poblete-Bustamante gets rid of any limitation that a particular subject might suggest, thus navigating in the purest dimension of painting. His raw and rapid brushstrokes emphasise the instantaneous and dynamic expression of action.
Inspired by his Chilean roots and his European environment, Poblete-Bustamante’s paintings are imbued with a palpable energy that transcribes an imaginary world through an instinctive and organic approach.
His work can be found in a number of public collections, including the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos (CAB) in Spain and the MUba Eugène Leroy in Tourcoing, France.
