    From Paris to Paradise: Henry Lamy’s Art, Capoeira, and Life in the Philippines

    Welcome to the Philip Dizon Podcast, where we sit down with exceptional creators, visionaries, and cultural icons from around the globe. In this episode, we are joined by Henry Lamy, a celebrated French contemporary painter who has navigated a fascinating life across continents, ultimately finding a new home and deep artistic inspiration in the Philippines. Introduced to drawing and painting at a young age by his father, Henry’s journey evolved from the self-made, alternative art squats of Paris to global art residencies spanning Japan, China, and beyond. Henry opens up about how childhood emotional shocks—like the declining health of his grandfather—initially drove him to translate "hard emotions into hard motions" through acrobatics and hand-balancing, laying the foundational roots for his eventual discovery of Capoeira. He details the moment his Brazilian Capoeira master encouraged him to unite his physical discipline with his canvas work, giving rise to his signature dynamic expression. We also explore Henry's intricate creative process. He pulls back the curtain on how he balances traditional fine art with product design sensibilities, utilizing assisted design softwares like Photoshop alongside physical canvas cutting, sewing, and mixed media like acrylics, spray cans, and charcoal. He reflects on the immense influence of the natural diversity and cultural intensity of Puerto Galera, Mindoro, and the famed Malasimbo Music and Art Festival. Tune in for an insightful conversation about the dual-rhythm of living between France and the Philippines, the value of embracing "accidents" and risk-taking in art, and how fatherhood has shifted his focus toward creating his most mature, impactful work yet. ✨ Follow Philip Dizon for more unique content: Instagram: @philipdizonofficial TikTok: @philipdizonofficial 📸 About Phildiz Studios: Since 1983, Phildiz Studios has built a renowned photography and visual arts legacy spanning over four decades.
