Myfo's artistic journey
Artistic approach
I am a nonconformist artist who likes to challenge norms and explore issues from all angles. My goal is to understand how the world works, using science, faith and everything in between. I use my intuition to imagine humanity's future and develop my inner universe.
I passionately explore a variety of mediums and techniques, allowing me to bring my fertile imagination to life. I believe the meaning of a work, its message, is more important than aesthetics and I strive to make the beauty of a work serve the message above all else. I don't hesitate to subtly include a part of my knowledge in my works and tell a story to those who know how to observe and understand.
My artistic work lies between realism and symbolism. I refuse to use any support to assist me and rely on my talent developed through learning and hard work. I am determined to continue to evolve and grow as an artist, exploring new ideas and experimenting with different media and techniques.
Influences and technical work.
My passion for drawing started very young, as far back as I can remember I always liked to doodle monsters in the margins of my notebooks.
As I grew up, manga and comic books became a great source of inspiration, both for their graphical power and expression of lines, as well as for the stories and universes that this medium offers. Among the great artists who have inspired me, I would particularly mention Katsuhiro Otomo, the author of "Akira," who, besides his unique style, has made me dream with the universe he created. As a French artist who has had as much impact on me and for the same reasons, Mathieu Bablet is a master, both in his storytelling and in the dream-like expression that is visually expressed.
My adolescence introduced me to the world of street art, with a fascination for Parisian artists such as Blek le Rat or Ernest Pignon-Ernest to name a few. The intention of freedom, the visual impact of this form of art that seems to have the power to change the public's way of thinking, I have a great love for this spray can that had the power to awaken people's consciousness.
My interest in glass led me to study as a stained glass artist where I also got to experiment with lost wax glass sculpture.
Pascal Rieu, from the workshop "l'artisan du vitrail," has successfully modernized and combined a modern style with a millennial technique, and has directly influenced my work in terms of the need to assert one's personality through their creations. Across the Atlantic, artist Judith Schaechter had the same effect on me, and her punk spirit is elevated by a unique technique and the magic of glass.
Finally, painting remains the technique that fascinates me the most, especially oil painting, which for me, exudes a sacred aura, which immortalizes the vision of artists and transcends time.
Roberto Ferri revives the techniques of the great painters of the Renaissance, and I can only be in admiration of his treatment of bodies, with a biting realism, and the symbolism that emerges from it.
On a more unconventional note, the paintings of Zdislav Beksinski have greatly stimulated my imagination. I was stunned by the strange yet coherent universe that he conveys in his paintings.
Through these artists and techniques, I explore my inner world and express it in as many ways as possible and necessary.
Like a sailor following the North Star, I navigate this creative ocean with passion and devotion.
