Christian Dugardeyn known as the artist Duga, born in august 1963 in Brussels in Belgium, is a painter, sculptor and draughtsman[1].

Biography[edit]

Already as a child, he was attracted to the visual art. Later, he enrolled in the Faculty of Medicine and the "Académie royale des beaux-arts de Bruxelles" and becomes radiologist[2] and artist[3]. He expresses himself mainly through drawing, painting and sculpture[4]. He uses the "continuous line" to express his basic emotions while being unaware of the situation[5]. He explains that the main goals of his artistic approach are spontaneity and instinct[6], while he experiments with many other avenues over time. He says he is constantly looking for anything that can help him understand the human being a little better[7].


For him, the exhibitions of Dubuffet and Chaissac were both a shock and a major revelation. They transmitted to him one of the foundations of his artistic approach: spontaneity and instinct. Through numerous experiments both in the type of support and in the materials used, he investigates Man, destructures him, deforms him until he reaches a limit between figuration and abstraction (figurabstraction)[8]. According to him, it is by distorting things that one comes closest to the truth.
