Biography

Born in 1966, Santiago de Chile, CL
Lives and works in Paris, FR

Humberto Poblete-Bustamante gets rid of any limitation that a particular subject might suggest, thus navigating in the purest dimension of painting. His raw and rapid brushstrokes emphasise the instantaneous and dynamic expression of action.

Inspired by his Chilean roots and his European environment, Poblete-Bustamante’s paintings are imbued with a palpable energy that transcribes an imaginary world through an instinctive and organic approach.

Humberto Poblete-Bustamante (born in 1978, lives and works in Paris, FR) studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (Paris, FR). His work has recently been the subject of solo exhibitions at Piermarq (Surry Hills, AU), Andersen Contemporary (Copenhagen, DK), and the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos (Burgos, ES). His pieces have also been featured in group exhibitions at The Intuitive Machine (Santiago de Chile, CL), Volery Gallery (Dubai, AE), MUba Eugène Leroy (Tourcoing, FR), and Gimpel Fils Gallery (London, UK).

His work is part of several public collections, including the Centro de Arte Caja de Burgos (Burgos, ES) and MUba Eugène Leroy (Tourcoing, FR).
