DRAKE is a contemporary artist whose visual universe sits at the crossroads of pop art and 1980s–1990s urban culture.
His work uses a strong symbol as its support: the banknote, a universal icon of value and power, which he reframes into a real arena for artistic expression.

Through his works, DRAKE injects the vibrant aesthetics of an entire generation — cult cartoons, retro references, visual codes of childhood and pop culture — creating a striking contrast between institutional rigor and nostalgic imagination.

His compositions, colorful and impactful, play on this tension between past and present, luxury and popular culture, seriousness and irreverence. By revisiting these symbols, DRAKE offers a reading that is both playful and critical of our relationship to value, image, and contemporary mythologies.

His style, immediately recognizable, blends graphic energy, iconic references and vintage spirit, giving rise to decorative, bold works firmly anchored in their era.
