Known as Phi Artiste Peintre, Sophie Duhem is a Toulouse-based artist and art historian whose work harmonizes scholarly research with the tactile richness of oil painting. Her creative practice is deeply informed by nearly thirty years of lecturing on early modern art, leading her to revive forgotten master techniques and traditional pigment recipes to explore the inner vibration of her subjects. Whether capturing the iridescent reflections of classic automobiles, the quiet energy of a coastal landscape, or the expressive depth of a portrait, she approaches each canvas as a slow meditation on light, matter, and the enduring dialogue between history and the human hand.
