Biography:

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

Distributed by EMI, the album did not meet the expected success, but it marked the beginning of a richly experimental artistic career.

Parallel to his musical career, Wags enters the world of advertising as a copywriter for the emblematic magazine Playboy. For many years, he brings his creativity to the publication by creating and realizing the magazine's advertising campaigns.

The turning point in his career comes in 2005 when he becomes a cameraperson, 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, Wags 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, Wags stands out with more than 3000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

Seeking to explore new artistic universes, Wags is none other than Kobalt who signs under this pseudonym to avoid interfering with his usual work.

This contemporary figurative painting draws inspiration from classical realism and a glamorous modern aesthetic. Collectors who appreciate the light of Joaquín Sorolla, the mastery of Anders Zorn, the elegance of John Singer Sargent, as well as the worlds of Richard S. Johnson, Pino Daeni, Jack Vettriano, Fabian Perez and Jeremy Lipking will find in this work an atmosphere and a treatment of light that are familiar to them.
