Christian Develter was born in 1968 in Blankenberge,
Belgium , resides and works in Asia since the nineties.
“Develter’s sense of the beautiful and the individual strength and spirit of his protagonists with his close-up narrative is developed through careful consideration of line, lighting and geometry as well as his perspicacious awareness of the power of color to reveal that which is behind the surface of each character. At the heart of these works is a search not just for physical beauty but also for something of the spirit that embraces and motivates each one in our era of hyper celebrity.”

A "global nomad",
Christian Develter uses his canvas to portray his rich experiences of peoples and cultures around the world. He's a highly versatile artist whose works pushes boundaries. Christian believes that despite cultural differences and starkly different socio-realities, there are moments that can be appreciated by everyone. These moments pull the trigger of his inspiration.
“... for what is admirable in Christian Develter, beyond the choice of his subjects, is precisely that stubbornness, which characterizes him, to be adamant in that hyper-finished, almost exaggerated style, specific to the make-up of dramatic stage and, of cinema as we know it between the nineteen thirties and the Nouvelle Vague “
