through the filter of his emotions and feelings. This series of works is a tribute to the beauty and simplicity of landscapes, it is an invitation to observation, meditation, elevation of the spirit and a form of humility and respect in the face of the majesty of Nature.

Faced with the catastrophic reflections reflected by the world, the artist, in his work, will never cease to account for them but also, illusorily, to try to tidy up the mess and to attempt to repair the visible damage.

Literally fascinated by the landscape, the lake, the mountains, by the effects of light, by the colours of the seasons and the depth and majesty of the spaces, he developed a kind of diary: every day, in the morning, at noon or in the evening, he draws and paints what he sees.

Thomas Huber's painting reveals an ironic and imaginary world. His work stages a complex process of symbolisation that resorts to sophisticated techniques of representation: systematic mise en abîme, co-presence of different temporalities or apparently contradictory elements, in illusionist spaces,

Thomas Huber is known for his almost unreal architectures, his mise en abîme, his dream-like inner world. But like many artists, he has always observed the world and been inspired by reality. He has always drawn and painted watercolours from observation. From his village studio in Italy, he has a
