Hubert de Watrigant was born and brought up in South West France where his father bred and trained racehorses. He inherited his natural artistic talent.

In 1976 de Watrigant decided to become a full-time professional artist, holding his first one man exhibition at Maisons-Lafitte. In 1977 he entered Les Sept Collines de Rome exhibition. He won first prize.

Hubert soon became recognised as one of France’s leading equestrian artists. As testament to his talent his work now features in numerous private and public collections in England, Japan and the Emirates. Private collectors include Her Majesty The Queen.
