Doäl

DOÄL is a self-taught artist born in Rouen in 1988. In the 90s, Hip-Hop culture was booming in France. Thanks to the influence of his family, who have followed this movement since its beginnings in the United States, DOÄL blossomed into a devouring passion for urban art. He grew up to the rhythm of music, breakdancing, DJing and Graffiti. His parents encouraged him by subscribing to magazines such as “GROOVE” for music and “GRAFFBOMBZ” for graffiti, thus cultivating his love for these authentic forms of expression. Over the years, DOÄL developed his talent in various artistic fields. In his adolescence, initially attracted by “Writing”, he gave free rein to his imagination by covering clothes, bags and skateboards, showing limitless creativity. But he doesn't stop there, because digital art also arouses his interest. In 2015, he began professionally in graphic design bringing his artistic visions to life on screens. However, his insatiable appetite for art pushed him to explore other horizons. This is how he immersed himself in the world of fine arts, experimenting with sculpture, watercolor, charcoal, and finally, painting. A discipline for which he has a deep passion. In 2018, DOÄL made a bold decision, abandoning his profession as a graphic designer to devote himself body and soul to painting. It is from this moment that his style asserts itself and his technique refines. Spring 2019 marks his first exhibition, opening the doors to an exhilarating adventure in Florida, where he creates works for an art collector captivated by his vision. This trip marked a turning point, evolving his style and giving him new inspirations. The artist fully embraces his urban origins by participating in a street art festival, where he meets graffiti artists who encourage him to paint in the street. There he learned to handle the aerosol can and participated in certain Jams. He then revisits his childhood inspirations, merging the codes of street art and fine arts creating a unique and identity genre. In his works, DOÄL recreates vitality and harmony mixing figurative and abstract. Equipped with brushes, dripsticks, spray cans and markers, it mixes style effects, integrating its opposites by combining organic and geometric shapes or even warm and cold colors. Her creations reveal feminine canvases, a subtle blend of grace and power, mystery and confidence. A timeless beauty, where art and emotion blend into a symphony of colors. In a search for balance and contrast, DOÄL immerses us in a dreamlike, expressive and captivating world
