Biography:

Kobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the journey of a polymorphic artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. From a family where art was already present thanks to his father, a draftsman, Kobalt discovers very early his first passion, music creation. This passion guides him in his youth, and his early talents lead him to make a daring decision: to invest the money intended to fund his higher education to invest in creating his first album.
Distributed by EMI, the album does not meet the expected success, but it marks the beginning of a rich artistic career full of experimentation.

Alongside his musical career, Kobalt enters the advertising world as a designer/writer for the iconic magazine Playboy. For many years, he puts his creativity at the service of the publication by creating and producing the magazine's advertising campaigns.

The turning point of his career comes in 2005 when he becomes a cameraman, thus 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 global street art. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Kobalt stands out with nearly 3000 artworks 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 appropriating magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.

Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay off social media, 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.
