Painter and poet, Stéphane Humbert Lucas studied painting in the South of France with a Flemish master and specialised in the tempera technique where he was obsessed with the combination of pigments and their texture.
Convinced that every colour had a scent, he discovered his synethesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which the stimulation of his sight simultaneously triggers his sense of smell at the same time.
Mixing colours was then a way to master new and unique scents.
