Clément Di Chirico

Born in Zurich in 1993, he grew up in Lausanne where he spent all his childhood drawing, creating stories and characters and imagining very early on being published. Wanting to become a comic book author and illustrator, in 2009 he joined EPAC (professional school of contemporary arts, in Saxon) where he spent 2 years before being struck by a serious stroke which forced him to temporarily interrupt his studies. . After 2 years of rehabilitation, he returned to school, graduated and decided to pursue his dream despite a hemiplegia. He continues to create and produce 4 boards for the comic strip "Je meurs" (Hélice Hélas edition), he also participated in a collective exhibition at the Crochetan theater in Monthey on the theme of "Oh Festival!". For his first solo exhibition "Jardins Mécaniques", he was inspired by nature, the power of machines and their often incomprehensible functioning. Leaving great freedom to his imagination, he draws by feeling, without prior sketching. Representing the fragility of nature and the power of man through machines, his works of great finesse and sensitivity, show that despite everything man and nature are inseparable and can live together.
