Entering the artists' world.

Robert Combas

A defining encounter with Robert Combas

At 15, Warren Lévy began building his own art collection. During those first discoveries, he encountered the work of Robert Combas, which immediately captured his attention. Lévy discovered Combas's paintings around the age of 15 or 16, and the artist became a defining figure for him. At 30, he had the chance to spend time with Combas—an extraordinary twist of fate that let him learn more about the creativity and artistic approach of this master.

Valerio Adami

Discovering Valerio Adami's distinctive style

As his explorations continued, Warren Lévy also discovered Valerio Adami, an artist whose distinctive, narrative style deeply intrigued him. Known for his colourful compositions and stylised forms, Adami shared a vision of art combining emotion and reflection. Their meeting, made possible by the talented painter Camilla, Adami's wife, became a memorable experience. Lévy spent many hours in the Montmartre studio, where he felt a powerful connection with the artist. Conversations with Adami, whose work unites personal and universal themes, broadened Warren's perspective on artistic creation.

Gérard Schlosser

The lasting influence of Gérard Schlosser

Another artist who shaped Warren Lévy's journey was Gérard Schlosser, an important figure in hyperrealism and narrative figuration. Schlosser's meticulous technique and innovative approach fascinated Lévy. Time spent in Schlosser's studio on Rue Titon allowed him to watch the creative process up close and learn the subtleties of painting. Schlosser's technical mastery and gift for capturing moments of everyday life left a lasting impression on Lévy, who saw in him a model of dedication and passion.

Antonio Segui

Antonio Segui's lasting mark

Antonio Segui, a great Argentine painter and collector of African art, also had a significant influence on Warren Lévy. Segui was a charismatic figure, often described as an artist in motion, whose works blend humour and history. Visits to his studio in Arcueil were rich in lessons: Lévy discovered how Segui conveyed complex emotions through vividly colourful characters. The experience taught him the importance of authenticity in art and the power of storytelling through works of art.

Hervé Télémaque

Hervé Télémaque and the intellectual dimension of art

Hervé Télémaque's offbeat, intellectual art appealed to Warren Lévy and added another dimension to his understanding of art. His singular approach, combining humour and reflection, invited Lévy to explore social and political themes through art. Warren spent a great deal of time with him in Villejuif, where discussions about art and society enriched his view of the world. Télémaque's creativity and kindness made him a precious source of inspiration.

ERRÓ

The captivating inspiration of ERRÓ

Finally, ERRÓ, one of Warren Lévy's favourite artists, played a major role in his artistic education. Regarded as one of the founders of narrative figuration, ERRÓ is known for dynamic collages and a bold engagement with current events. Lévy admired his unique energy and ability to capture the surrounding world, as well as this exceptional artist's humility. ERRÓ's works taught him the value of commitment in art and of remaining connected to contemporary reality.
