Biography:

Kobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the career of a polymath artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. Coming from a family where art was already present thanks to his father, a draftsman, Kobalt discovers very young his first passion, music creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to take a bold decision: to invest the money intended to fund his higher studies into the creation of his first album.

Distributed by EMI, the album does not achieve the expected success, but it marks the beginning of a rich artistic career full of experimentation.

Parallel to his musical career, Kobalt engages in the world of advertising as a designer/writer for the iconic Playboy magazine. For many years, he brings his creativity to the publication by creating and producing the magazine’s advertising campaigns.

The turning point in his career comes in 2005 when he becomes a cameraman, exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he discovers a passion for photography, adding another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founds his own photo agency, highlighting his entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2017, Kobalt makes a radical choice to sell his agency to fully embrace graphic art, influenced by his son, who has become a major figure in street art worldwide. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Kobalt stands out with nearly 3,000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

His artistic approach is marked by bold use of humor, provocation, and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for subverting magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.

Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay on the fringe of social networks, thus preserving a certain privacy. Today, he uses all available digital tools to bring his creations to life, continuing to push the boundaries of artistic expression with a subtle blend of inspiration, innovation, and humor.
