I studied Fine Arts at the Universität der Künste (UDK) in Berlin, completing my master's degree in 2021. My artistic practice explores memory and identity through shapes and colors, often using layering techniques that challenge conventional representation. Influenced by theater, music, and photography, I primarily identify as a painter, pushing the boundaries of my craft. Now based in Luxembourg, my work reflects the complexities of contemporary life, balancing dark themes with glimmers of hope. Through my art, I aim to evoke empathy and understanding, capturing fleeting emotions and moments. -Thierry Harpes
