Befa

France  • 1980

Presentation

Befa, born in Soissons (France) in 1980, is first and foremost an autodidact, keen on alternative and popular cultures. Living between Paris and Porto (Portugal), he began in urban art with a graphic avatar that he declined in several forms: graffiti, stencils, airbrush, ... 

The artist hides behind this falsely naive alter-ego who quietly observes the world of its large, empty and opaque eyes. Such is the gaze of Befa, benevolent but never gullible, contemplative without complacency. Inspired by traditional Portuguese art, its style is characterized by its simple shapes, bright colors and geometric patterns. Based on its avatar, Befa dares new forms, new techniques (spray cans, acrylic paintbrushes, etc.) and brings together styles, between naivety and realism, imagination and critical thinking.
