Capharnaüm, 2021

Poser  

Poser was born in 1986 in Suresnes. He grew up in Essonne, drawn from a very young age to a diverse artistic sensibility: music, drawing, painting, photography. Art is not a choice for him, but a natural breath, an instinctive territory to which he constantly returns, as if guided by an inner calling.

In 2004, his encounter with graffiti was a revelation. The black and white of pencil gave way to the vibrant colors of spray paint. Wastelands became his studio, walls his playground. There, he discovered the raw energy of lettering, the power of the gesture, the adrenaline rush of the moment. He fell in love with lettering as much as with Hip-Hop culture as a whole—a visual and sonic language that profoundly shaped his artistic identity.

Trained in applied arts, then becoming an interior architect, Poser developed a keen understanding of space and composition. He learned to read volumes, to consider forms within their environment, and to orchestrate colors with precision. This dual approach—instinctive and structured—informs his entire practice today.

His world is a crossroads of influences: comics, classical painting, graffiti, street art, Japanese prints, and contemporary graphic design. He doesn't simply juxtapose these references; he fuses them. His works become spaces for dialogue where urban culture meets the elegance of line, where spontaneity is balanced with mastery.

Between tension and harmony, energy and delicacy, Poser composes a unique visual style — vibrant, rooted in its time, but traversed by more timeless resonances.
