Nicolás Dupont is a visual artist currently based in Leipzig, Germany. In his paintings, Nicolás Dupont playfully explores everyday themes by closely observing his surroundings and trying to create great tension through small variations of reality. With a distanced gaze, he exposes the bizarre core of the banal and lends it a new dimension through vivid colors and energetic compositions. Oscillating between figuration and abstraction, his works invite us to experience both cheerful and thought-provoking moments in a constant interplay.
He studied at the Dresden University of Fine Arts (HfBK), where he received his diploma in fine arts in 2012. In 2010, he moved to Amelie von Wulffen's class at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. From 2012 to 2014, Dupont was a master student of Prof. Kerbach. In 2013, he was awarded the Robert Sterl Prize by the Dresden District Collective Foundation. His work has been exhibited internationally in cities such as Berlin, Paris, London, Vienna and Prague.
