 Paul Delvaux
Paul Delvaux was born on September 23, 1987, in Anheit, Blegium near Liege.
In secondary school, Delvaux studied Greek and Latin, and was impressed by the writings of Homer.
Soon after, Delvaux began to place all his elements - the nudes, the railway stations, the classical palaces, the skeletons - together in a dreamlike landscape of perspective that recalled de Chirico as well as fellow Belgian and surrealist Rene Magritte.

 Paul Delvaux [1897-1994] - Featured Artist Lot on Artfact.com
There Delvaux began to make a number of serious studies of skeletons and, as in Squelette of 1944, this structural frame of the human being began to make appearances in his work as if alive, sitting in chairs, conversing in offices and later enacting scenes from the Passion.
For the presence of this cheerful skeleton, alive and active in the bright light of morning, goes against all our conventional associations for skeletons who, if we think about them at all, are inanimate, dead objects associated primarily with ghoulish science, graveyards and the night.
By bringing this essentially nocturnal figure to life and to light in his painting, Delvaux manages once again to create a powerful pictorial enigma that challenges and questions the logic of the way that we look at the world.

 musée des Beaux-Arts de Charleroi, Paul Delvaux
Inhabited by narcotic creatures, totally indifferent to each other, Paul Delvaux's painting seems to be the work of a person who grew up too quickly.
Skeletons, young naked barely nubile women, young pubescent men, hallucinating scientists, deserted railway stations, brothels - all are the recurring images that appear in his works: dreamlike visions devoid of pretension, childhood dreams of touching naivety are set into scenes where De Chirico's influence is omnipresent.
Set within an intimist universe, set amid an architectural setting of pure classical lines, Delvaux organises his compositions with the precision of a studious, concentrated child and this within a silence heavy with things unspoken.

Delvaux, influenced by Magritte and Chirico, created meticulous surreal compositions based on Renaissance ideas of perspective and peopled with self-absorbed somnambulists.
