Based in France for more than 30 years, he has developed a distinctive body of work, immediately recognizable, at the crossroads of contemporary art, design and visual culture.

International recognition
Coco de Paris's work goes far beyond the traditional gallery scene:
• Several of his works appear in the film Deep Water produced by 20th Century Fox, featuring Ben Affleck
• He collaborated with Marc Jacobs on an exclusive collection
• Gucci has acquired licensing rights to some of his works
• Géraldine Chaplin counts his creations among her inspirations
• Collaborations with international brands and institutions such as Joe Fresh, World Market, Cardinal Games, Nepia (Japan), FLOW Magazine, and Lindner Hotels (Germany)
• Collaboration with Tim Zagat (founder of the Zagat guide): creation of an illustrated alphabet of 26 animals and, for 2026, the release of two books: a book devoted to the mythical Parisian palace Le Bristol Paris and an artistic work titled Silly Words.

His work has been presented in numerous galleries and art fairs across Europe, such as Affordable Art Fairs in Brussels and Amsterdam, selected for the MAC Paris show, Art Metz, and the galleries Bernard Mourrier (Saint-Rémy-de-Provence), Carincotte (Marseille), Another Art (Belgium), Galerie Projection (Brussels), Galerie Radar (Bayeux), Galerie Cyane (Nancy), Galerie Marie Ricco (Calvi), Galerie Gour-beneforti (Bastia).
