Tony Quimbel


An oil painter inspired by the Romantic masters of the 19th century, I have a predilection for the surrealist style, in the footsteps of Dali, whom I particularly like.

After seven years of study at the Beaux-Arts de Dunkerque (Flemish School), I had the privilege of being the private student of Xavier Degans, himself a student and collaborator of Salvador Dali. I also followed the wise advice of my friend and Flemish master Arthur Van Hecke.

“Like the alchemist, who, in the depths of the night, melts and remelts the stone, his stone, in this case, color, again and again... I seek to achieve “the great work,” the work that makes one immortal, that transcends the ages.

Even if it is undoubtedly unattainable, the will is fundamental, and represents a goal that everyone should desire to achieve, in order to give meaning and unfailing motivation to our very brief lives.”
