Born of a family of artists, Paul Daxhelet studied at the Académie Royale
des Beaux-Arts of his native city of Liege, where he saw early success.
He takes a keen interest in depicting movement in sports, as in our work,
with boxers taking shots at one-another. He even took up the sport himself.
In the 1950s, he begins what would become several visits to Africa, where
he painted large works, and innumerable sketches and watercolours. He goes
on to travels, among others, in India, the Orient, South America, Polynesia
and Senegal.
