Artworks by
Philippe Halaburda (1995–Present)
This page presents a chronological archive of paintings by Philippe Halaburda, created from 1995 to the present, across Paris, Aix-en-Provence, and Zurich, as well as Brooklyn and Newburgh, NY.
Beginning with figurative painting, the work gradually evolved toward abstraction, leading to a contemporary practice rooted in psychogeography, emotional mapping, and spatial memory.
Over nearly three decades, painting has become a tool for navigating experience, where representation gives way to structure, rhythm, and layered systems that reflect both personal
and collective landscapes.
“Painting is how I keep track of where I've been
and what I felt while I was there.
Three decades. One question:
what does a place do to the people inside it?”
Spanning nearly three decades, the artworks reflect a long-term investigation into abstraction
as a tool for mapping memory, emotion, and space, from early figurative work in France
to contemporary mixed media painting in New York.
Through evolving materials and systems, the practice positions painting as a navigational surface, one that translates lived experience into structure rather than image.
