Patrick Eugène’s paintings are tributes, ones formed not from reference photographs, but from a natural likeness and resemblance to his ancestry. The paintings persist and evoke dignity, refinement, and optimism. Through portraits of subjects at the outset of a journey, both physical and mental, Eugène emphasizes the radical effect migration can have on countries and people, even those uninvolved.
