Nathanael Koffi

Nathanaël Koffi is a 27-year-old visual artist.

He likes to touch different media and divert certain everyday objects to sublimate the world around him. The intuitive part of his work balances the precision and rigor inherent in the realization of his works.

“This apparent opposition balances everything and allows me to maintain a threshold of excitement essential to the realization of my paintings. »

Passionate about skateboarding since his adolescence, he naturally decided to turn to this medium. He thus uses used skateboards, to which he gives a second life. It is for him the way to merge his two passions and to pay homage to them.

In a very abstract work approach, he plays on the variations of colors and patterns. His work is done freely, without sketches or preparation in advance. The color composition is free, almost wild.

Very influenced in particular by the pastel tones of Wes Anderson, the patterns of Damian Hirst or the murals of Thiago Thipan, Nathanaël likes to marry different layers without apparent connection to each other and to reveal their harmony.

In June 2022, he self-financed his first solo exhibition "Première", which thus marks the first marker of his perpetual experimentation with different supports, textures and sensations. The artist retraces his evolution and looks back on the first period of his work. From his first works on skateboards to the most recent, more atypical creations, the artist multiplies techniques and is full of innovation.
