Renaud Muraire explores religious iconography

++++++++

Renaud Muraire has continuously investigated themes of identity, connection, and transcendence.

In his latest series of paintings, he pays homage to traditional religious iconography, which throughout history has served as a cornerstone of human existence, providing guidance, comfort and a sense of belonging.

To honour this rich heritage, Renaud Muraire breathes new life into saintly figures and biblical scenes with a contemporary aesthetic. The fusion of ancient symbolism with vibrant colours and youthful imagery creates a harmonious dialogue between the past and the present, spirituality and modern understanding, and encourages reflection on our identities, hopes and relationships in the ever-changing tapestry of human existence. In this setting, people from all walks of life can find resonance and belonging, reflect on their own spiritual journey, and foster a deeper understanding of our shared humanity.

Renaud Muraire’s approach is non-religious, but aims to trigger a dialogue, a contemplation of the ever-evolving human journey in all it’s complexity.

Born in Nice, France, he lives and works in Paris.
