Originally from France, this painter and graffiti artist discovered his passion for urban art at a very young age. Fascinated by the vibrant possibilities offered by the city, he quickly immersed himself in the world of graffiti, a raw and rebellious form of expression. With spray can in hand, he explored every corner of his environment, transforming the mundane into bold and energetic visuals. Highway sides, underground passages, and railroad tracks became his canvas as he honed his craft and developed his unique artistic identity.

His first foray into graffiti vandalism was more than just an act of defiance; it was a means of communication, a way to leave his mark on the world that reflected his inner turmoil, creativity, and vision. The years spent navigating the underground of street art helped him cultivate not only his technical skills but also his understanding of space, form, and color. These urban environments, with their rough textures, layers of graffiti, and worn surfaces, became an inexhaustible source of inspiration, shaping both his aesthetic and his approach to art.

Over time, his work evolved. Though his heart remains connected to the streets, he began transferring his skills to canvas, combining the raw energy of his early graffiti with more abstract and refined techniques. This transition from the street to the gallery allowed him to explore deeper emotional themes, blending spontaneity with more deliberate and thoughtful compositions. The rebellious spirit of street art is still present in his work, but it now intertwines with a more introspective and controlled form of expression.

His artistic journey reflects a deep connection to street culture, which remains at the core of his work. However, it also highlights his ability to adapt, evolve, and find new ways to express himself through both traditional and unconventional media. This fusion of street art and abstraction creates a dynamic and varied body of work that resonates with audiences worldwide. While the city walls may have been his first canvas, his art now transcends those boundaries, bringing the essence of the street into galleries and homes, all while maintaining the grit and emotional intensity that define his creative voice.
