Pol Taburet’s work operates at the intersection of ritual, memory, and contemporary image culture. Drawing from his Caribbean heritage, syncretic voodoo traditions, and the visual language of classical painting, the Paris-born artist (b. 1997) builds a world that feels both ancient and strikingly new.

Central to his practice is a hybrid technique: airbrush layered with acrylic brushwork. The result is a dynamic tension between precision and blur, detail and suggestion – where textures shift and figures seem to emerge and dissolve at once. This dialogue between old and new materials mirrors the conceptual core of his work.

Taburet’s influences – ranging from Francis Bacon to Baroque and religious painting – are visible but never restrictive. His distorted, hybrid figures, often suspended between human and animal, inhabit stark, abstract spaces. They evoke themes of transformation, life and death, and the passage between states.

There is a quiet spirituality in his paintings, elusive yet persistent. Working intuitively, Taburet allows meaning to surface through the act of painting itself – making each work less a statement, and more a process of revelation.
