Presentation
Looki is a unique artist whose career illustrates a harmonious fusion between a career in heavy industry and a visceral passion for art. Born in Poitiers and raised in the 17th arrondissement of Paris, he evolved in an environment mixing working-class and artistic influences. However, it was only in adulthood that he discovered that creation was anchored in his DNA.
A craftsman turned artist
From his early days in the industry, Looki became familiar with demanding techniques such as welding, gluing, and assembling various materials such as wood, steel, and metals. These skills became the basis of an artistic exploration that he began at the age of 18, when he received his first welding station. Over the years, he perfected his technique and experimented with various artistic trends, combining craftsmanship and creative vision.
A raw and instinctive art
Adopting an instinctive and spontaneous approach, Looki creates raw, intense and sincere works. His creations combine raw materials and natural elements to address universal themes such as love, freedom, death, mysticism and nature. Each piece embodies a philosophy of life: living intensely, without premeditation, guided by instinct.
International recognition
Since 2017, Looki has dedicated his life to art. His talent has been recognized in prestigious competitions and exhibitions. He has won an international prize in Spain, an artistic merit award in Luxembourg, and has been awarded several first prizes and public favorites for the quality of his work. His works have been exhibited in emblematic places such as the Carrousel du Louvre and the Grand Palais in Paris.
Looki is also regularly featured in magazines specializing in sculpture and contemporary art, consolidating his reputation on the artistic scene.
Always looking for challenges
In constant search of new inspirations, Looki constantly pushes the limits of his creativity and technique. Each project is an opportunity for him to renew his artistic universe and to make an impression with unique and powerful creations.
