Philippe Halaburda
Abstract Artist in New York
Painting Psychogeographical Maps
French-born and based in Newburgh, NY, Philippe Halaburda creates abstract paintings
and mixed-media compositions that map emotion, memory, and human connection.
Each work transforms invisible psychological, urban, and digital structures into vibrant visual cartographies of color and form.
“Emotions and senses generate the shape of a map
but it's more than a map.”
Psychogeographic Abstraction, Mapping the Emotional Architecture of Space
Through layered geometry and intuitive mark-making, Philippe Halaburda's abstract paintings construct shifting visual environments shaped by memory, belief,
and lived experience.
Guided by a dérive-like process rooted in Psychogeography,
his work investigates the subtle relationships between mind and place, translating invisible urban structures into expressive, collectible paintings on canvas and paper.
This practice has evolved from figuration into abstraction
over three decades of artistic research.
