Lacombe’s creations are not just mere paintings; they are an exploration of the human psyche’s darkest corners. His canvas becomes a metaphysical landscape, unembellished and stark, where he portrays and transfigures the human form. His artistry lies in the careful balance of figurative elements with expressionistic brushstrokes.

The subjects of his compositions are meticulously deconstructed to emphasize their three-dimensional aspects. He masterfully recreates the textures of skin, flesh, and bone, bringing a sense of realism to his work.
