French artist Nicolas Hubesch divides his time between Paris and Athens, a rhythm that fuels his curiosity and sense of place. In the Greek capital, his gaze turns away from landmarks toward the ordinary — quiet streets, faded façades, empty lots. Working from long walks and photographs, Hubesch reconstructs moments of observation through drawing. His compositions often stretch wide and frontal, offering panoramic views that invite the eye to drift slowly across the page.
Reality in his work is filtered through memory. Buildings shift, details rearrange, and perspectives merge as he reinterprets the city’s fleeting atmosphere. The result is a delicate tension between documentation and emotion, an image that reflects Athens in constant transformation.
Among crumbling refugee houses, old cafés and restless construction sites, Hubesch finds a fragile equilibrium. His drawings capture a city suspended between disappearance and renewal, where gentleness persists amid the hum of urban change.
