Emilio Trad is an Argentinean painter working and living in Paris. With an artistic journey spanning over a decade, Trad’s focus lies in discovering equilibrium and harmony within figurative painting. Merging classical representation with contemporary contexts, Trad resists categorization, perpetually evolving in pursuit of innovative visual expressions. His recent work combines traditional oil painting techniques with newspaper collage and text fragments, juxtaposing subjects from old masterpieces with contemporary sceneries. This creates a dynamic tension that spurs reflection on our human role throughout history and the interplay between past and present times. A pursuer of beauty, Trad believes art is a divine gift to be welcomed with humility. He is inspired by the diversity of life–the good, the bad, and the absurd–spotting grace in every fragment. Trad’s art serves as a profound exploration of the complexities of existence and the enduring pursuit of aesthetic perfection.
Trad earned a degree in fine arts in Buenos Aires. His work was exhibited in Paris, Buenos Aires, Beirut, The Hauge, Brussels, London, and Miami. He received the Grand Prix de Barbizon and was granted awards from Paris Salon d’Automne and the Taylor Foundation in Paris.

For over a decade, my artistic quest has centered on discovering the perfect equilibrium, geometry, and harmony within figurative painting. I seamlessly blend classical representation with contemporary cultural contexts, navigating the intricate balance between tradition and modernity. As a relentless worker in the realm of art, my approach is ever-evolving, perpetually in pursuit of improved and innovative visual expressions. While renowned for my adeptness in drawing and color, often categorized as a classical painter, each new canvas defies such labels. Embracing the pulse of the times, my latest works integrate backgrounds of newspapers and fragments of texts, showcasing a constant evolution in my visual language.
