Fusion between tradition and innovation through dreams!
Art brings magic to the world! This was one of the first marvels that Victor Abel discovered early in his father’s workshop, who was also a painter. His father passed down both his techniques and his thoughts. Art deepens our understanding of the world around us and our communities. This is a vision he has nurtured ever since.
Having worked in software development for many years, he combined art with mathematics by creating an algorithm that now ensures the traceability of his works, making them tamper-proof.
His workshop is also a place of experimentation. Can we innovate based on the techniques of the past? The idea is to look back at old methods, techniques, or knowledge to spark new forms of innovation. This means revisiting the past to find creative solutions to contemporary challenges by learning from the masters.
Victor Abel was searching for a stable material, resistant to humidity, fungi, and insects, while still being eco-friendly and accessible. The medium needed to work for oil painting, but also for more modern techniques like acrylic. He developed this material in his workshop, uses it in his production, and is proud of it. Now it’s your turn to discover it.
Additionally, he draws inspiration from the surrealist movement through the method of psychic automatism. Victor Abel taps into his dreams to bring forth new, vibrant creations — a whole new adventure!
