Philippe Brasseur, alias Dany, alias Phybra.   Born in Malonne in 1954, he is a self-taught artist.

​

He was a drummer in various rock and jazz rock bands.

A milling worker at the age of 17, he brilliantly resumed   higher education around his thirties. He became a psychotherapist in family therapy and systemic analysis, working with autistic and psychotic people including deaf and dumb people.

He discovered painting and engraving   in 1980.

​

He created the monumental fresco (950m2) on the wall of the Palace of Fine Arts in Charleroi, which has unfortunately been destroyed today.

It will be followed a year later by a fresco in Gosselies, also destroyed, produced with his unfailing friend  Christian Hocquet.

Silver medal at the Dinant international competition; noticed at the Mediatine…

He produced several frescoes, the last of which was at the fires of Fosses la ville, a tribute to the walkers of the entre-Sambre and Meuse. This was also destroyed.

Exhibits everywhere in Belgium. Stay 10 years without producing anything artistic.

Thanks to health problems, 14 operations, cancer etc… he realizes that he is losing his life to earn it. He stopped "working" in the conventional sense   at the age of 50 to devote himself solely to painting and writing.

After 10 years of absence, in 2010 he released a book of poetry “In disenchantment, absence is a presence in the making, You are Loved”  published by Editions Amalthée.

​

He resumed painting and exhibiting under the name of Phybra. A powerful artist, he continues to take   his visitors to dream happily in his figurative and surreal world.

​

Phybra has works in Seattle (USA), Bali (Indonesia), via France, Canada, Holland, Spain and Belgium.
