Odin – An artist between modernity and traditions

Born in 1986 in Nice, Odin grew up in an artistic environment, influenced by his mother, a gallery owner in Saint-Paul-de-Vence. From a young age, he developed an attraction to drawing and colors, nourished by his travels to Madagascar and Polynesia, where he discovered tribal patterns and the energy of Maori tattoos. After studying applied arts and interior design, he explored graffiti as a teenager before returning fully to painting in 2011.

His work quickly attracted attention: he exhibited permanently at the Joël Guyot gallery in Saint-Paul-de-Vence from 2013, participated in the ART3F fairs from 2015 and performed live, including a collaboration with the MAMAC in Nice in 2017. In 2022, he presented a solo exhibition at the Chapelle des Pénitents Blancs in Vence. Since 2023, his works have been on permanent display at the Galerie Art Mada Riviera in Cagnes-sur-Mer, where he also leads workshops and creates murals. He also participates in unique projects, such as the customization of a vintage racing helmet sold at a charity sale in Monaco alongside renowned artists, including Robert Combas.

His artistic universe, between abstraction and figuration, fuses tribal influences, urban art and cubism. His works, recognizable by their stylized characters and bright colors, come to life on canvases, objects and walls. Mastering various techniques – acrylic, aerosol, posca, collages and stencils – he creates a dialogue between tradition and modernity.

Always in search of new experiences, Odin continues to explore and innovate, seeking to thrill the viewer through expressive and captivating art.
