Patrick Toby

Patrick (Alsen) Toby is a Belgian artist who lives and works in Brussels.

He is known for his modern chiaroscuro compositions that merge artistic traditions and technology. He handles the juxtaposition of colours, shapes and transparencies with a strange voluptuousness that he keeps intense and secret.

His spatial and architectural approach offers a truly unique aesthetic that invites us into a quasi-meditative experience.

Inspired by his many travels, whatever they may be, and his life as a scenographer, he creates his geometric and abstract works recalling his vibrant, confusing, sometimes happy... and often nocturnal moments.

Each composition is the result of an encounter, an experience, a place or a fact, but sometimes also of a pure inspiration, avowable or not, whose origin he does not know, which is not to his displeasure.

Against all odds, he continues to explore, paint and share.
