When he moved to Paris, he frequented the studios of Jean-Paul Laurens and Benjamin Constant, and exhibited at the Salon for the first time in 1900. Life in the capital was difficult for him. Mobilized during the Great War in the same unit as his son, himself a painter, he returned to the south-west and settled in Castanet-Tolosan in the 20s.
Lupiac's favorite subjects are the reinvented and sometimes dreamed-up Antiquity, set against the backdrop of the Lauragais landscapes.
Recognized for his craft, the artist received several public commissions. We owe him a part of the decor of the City Council room of the Capitole with notably "Le Vent d'autan".
He was co-founder in 1905 of the Société des Artistes Méridionaux.
