French street artist born in Tours, creating vibrant and emotive works that capture the essence of life and childhood.

The characters of Nep are between them and between two children who go… They hesitate, move slowly, their words are crossed out, tremulous, keep quiet or rejoice like infinity. Do they ask to be helped to get from one point to another? No, even if they touch our emotions, they escape us, they are inundated with bright colors; a force of life that nothing can extinguish.

This artwork bursts with vivid energy and abstract expression. Dominated by purple hues, it features a chaotic assembly of figures and symbols that evoke a sense of spontaneity. On the left, a figure with a mask-like face is juxtaposed against a cat-like creature on the right. Bold black lines and eye motifs create dynamic focal points, enhancing the painting’s intensity. The incorporation of scribbles and textured layers adds depth and engages the viewer in a visual exploration. This piece uniquely combines childlike imagination with sophisticated abstraction, inviting interpretations of identity and perception. Its raw execution and striking contrast make it a remarkable example of modern expressionism.
