Born in Ankadinondry (Madagascar) to Reunionese parents, Philippe TURPIN was originally a self-taught artist. During an engraving internship at the Léon Dierx Museum in 1978, under the direction of Claude GROSCHÊNE, a Parisian printer and soucier, he discovered the etching technique. Then he set up his engraving workshop in 1981 in Cilaos and began to study aquatint before turning to bibliophilia.
