Patrice is primarily interested in women and eroticism. This woman “muse” he resumed painting in 1996 with a style he calls “Courbisme” - nod to Cubism of Picasso, who is part of the great masters of painting, with Basquiat and Pollock, inspire Patrice, but mostly a tribute to the curves of women, female colorful shapes which he exaggerates.

Patrice Murciano🎨 è nato a Belfort, ma è cresciuto nel sud della Francia.
Ha scoperto la passione per l'arte in età precoce.
Già a 6 anni iniziava ad applicare le sue tecniche creative riproducendo alla perfezione i personaggi dei cartoni animati usando la china.
All’età di 8 anni, prende in prestito il trucco della madre per disegnare ritratti femminili. Adolescente ed incuriosito dai grandi maestri, riproduce i capolavori di Velasquez e Rembrandt su tavole ad olio su tela.
I genitori, visto il talento del ragazzo, insistono perché entri all’Accademia delle Arti, ma amici intimi ed intenditori d’arte remano nel senso opposto, per paura che la vena artista di Patrice Murciano venga inflazionata e deviata verso i canoni più convenzionali che la scuola impone. I genitori si sentono molto lontani da questo mondo, e lasciano che sia Patrice a scegliere…
Si formerà da solo, lontano dai dogmi dell’arte scolastico.
Patrice Murciano vive ancora oggi nel sud della Francia, anche se è regolarmente mostre all’estero, New York, Osaka, Los Angeles, ecc.
"Sono completamente autodidatta in arte (pittura, scultura, fotografia, cinema). Ho imparato tutto questo attraverso la passione nel corso del tempo. Continuo ad imparare ogni giorno; Cerco nuove tecniche, nuovi ritratti o figure. Ho una lunga lista di personaggi famosi che ho ritirato. Oggi avrei preferito dipingere ritratti: volti che mi ispirano, bambini, adulti, anziani; Io sono prima di tutto ritrattista".
Si descrive come “Ricercatore arte” e non vuole essere chiamato pittore, in continua ricerca di nuove tecniche e nuovi stili -acrilico, inchiostro, olio, scultura, grafica, foto, filmati …- nel suo studio che lui chiama LEA -esperimenti di laboratorio artistico.
