Work Description

Beyond painting and drawing, Philippe Pasqua’s sculptural practice represents a pivotal dimension of his oeuvre. This work is composed of mixed media—including resin, acrylic, and preserved butterflies—where black and red establish a powerful chromatic contrast, at once restrained and charged with visceral intensity.


Within this interplay of material and color, the fragility of life and the weight of mortality converge. The result is a work of profound existential resonance, as striking in its execution as it is contemplative in its spirit.
