Robin Dubois

Born in 1965 in Moselle, Robin Dubois is an unconventional artist whose pictorial awakening came late, at the age of 56. During an exhibition, an artist encouraged him to try abstraction, telling him that drawing is not essential — only passion matters. Robin then threw himself into painting, without a safety net, and discovered a sudden, blazing vocation.

Red, yellow, white, black… his first works erupt with colour like a release. His style quickly emerged: powerful, instinctive, luminous. These are inhabited canvases, signed by a free and spontaneous hand nicknamed “the cat,” in reference to his first painting on a wooden panel and to that unmistakable “paw” that has become his mark.

It took barely a year for his paintings to appear on gallery walls in Zurich, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Los Angeles, Amsterdam… and of course in France, in Lyon and Toulouse. The self-taught artist impresses with his ability to channel pure emotion, painting without sketches, letting colour guide him. He works on canvas but also on 3D supports, blending acrylic with textures, glitter and reliefs, all with a keen sense of balance.

Robin Dubois composes each work like a breath. He begins with primary colours, which he blends spontaneously. He experiments. He plays. He dreams. And the viewer dreams with him. From The Birth of the Phoenix to The Fire or Pink Balance, his canvases form as many worlds to contemplate and to feel — visual opals emerging from a vibrant inner realm.

In 2022, he became a finalist in several international contemporary art competitions. Akoun certified his artist rating. I-CAC recognised him as a professional artist. And in 2023, he was awarded the Léonard de Vinci Prize in Milan. His meteoric rise illustrates an essential truth: it is never too late to embrace art.

“I feel through colour. So it is through colour that my canvas will always be organised.” Robin Dubois fully lives this sentence. Through his paintings, he offers us far more than artworks — he opens a passage. The passage to a world more vibrant, more free, more alive.
