Biography :
Wags (better known by the pseudonym Kobalt) signs under several artist names, allowing him to explore different artistic realms.
Wags, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the journey of a polymorphic 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, 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 does not achieve the expected success, but it marks the beginning of an artistic career rich in experimentation.
Alongside his musical career, Wags engages in the advertising world as a creative copywriter for the iconic magazine Playboy. 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, 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, Wags makes a radical choice to sell his agency to fully embrace graphic art, influenced by his son, who became a major figure in street art worldwide. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Wags stands out with more than 3,000 works sold in galleries and online to date.
This contemporary figurative painting draws on classical realism and a modern glamorous 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 a mood and lighting treatment familiar to them.
