Hello,
Graphic designer by training based in Paris, France, I like to mix the codes of street art with those of typography.
Attached to words and the meanings they convey, I use them in a kind of dialogue with the image, conducive to reflexion.
My worlds feed on rock as well as literature, cinema or painting. Colors are great vectors of emotion and direct connection with the public.
Urban Poetry - Inks
I like to react to current events through my sentences. Words are like alerts launched into the consciousness of passers-by ; the idea is to make them smile, think, to surprise them or simply bring a bit of poetry or spice to the greyness of the walls.
