About Thierry
Thierry Fazian's paintings erupt with fantastic visual imagery from his subconscious mind to epitomize the art of Surrealist creation. With influences ranging from Salvador Dali to Max Ernst, Fazian is a master draftsman with a deep spiritual core. His figures and tropes emerge from pure psychic automatism and investigate the birth of humanity and the phenomenon of psychic passion at every viewing. In speaking on his work, Fazian is the first to say, "nothing comes from nothing," and the complexity of his work is paralleled to the complexity of his cultural roots. He comes from Guadeloupe in the French West Indies, and considers himself to be an embodiment of the intersection of several civilizations, namely Europe, Africa, America, Eastern Asia, India, Indian American, and Caribbean.
His vision and work are nourished as much by contemporary French culture as they are by the crossroad of civilizations that is the Caribbean. The result is an exuberant and complex set of works positing questions without answers and answers without reason, exuberant and cerebral to their core.
