Richard Texier was born in 1955 on the French west coast and now lives and works in Paris.

Today he is widely regarded as one of the best living artists of his generation.
He began painting at ta young age and his keen interest in the history of astronomy largely inspired the creation of his own personnel cosmography ;Theoria Sacra is a later excellent example of his passion. 
Since 1992 he has created a number of sculpted works, most notably his bronze mythological animals which have contributed to his interpretation of the concept of hybridisation.
His current work is based on the Pantheo Vortex, an artistic exploration of the mystery of the world.
His works are to be found in numerous important public and private collections, both in France and abroad .
Many major museums around the world have exhibited his work including the National museum of Taiwan, the National museum of Luxemburg, the Marine Museum in Paris, the Botanical museum of Brussels, the House of Culture Moscow and the Shangai museum of Fine Art.

Two major themes structure and may be interpreted from his work, those of hybridisation and the mystery of the world.

1. Hybridisation : Mythological animals

Hybridisation is a salutary quest for humanity.Richard Texier has used this inspiration to imagine a series of mythological beasts. 
Since time immemorial great civilisations such as ancient Greece, pre-columbien America, China of the emperors and mysterious Egypt have created mythological animals, half Gods and protectors and inspirers of existence.Today we live a different form of hybridisation, that of ideas, knowledge, territories, peoples and cultures. Richard Texier celebrates this great world movement through a series of works: Bionics, Hybrids and Generis.
