Artist biography :

Born in Paris in 1970, Kobalt embodies the journey of a multifaceted artist whose creativity has unfolded from electronic music to contemporary graphic art. Coming from a family where art was already present through his father, a draftsman, Kobalt discovered his first passion at a very young age: music creation. This passion guided him throughout his youth, and his early talent led him to make a bold decision: to invest the money intended to fund his higher education in creating his first album.
Distributed by EMI, the album did not achieve the expected success, but it marked the beginning of a career rich in artistic experimentation.

Alongside his music career, Kobalt entered the world of advertising as a copywriter for the iconic Playboy magazine. For many years, he put his creativity at the service of the publication, creating and producing the magazine's advertising campaigns.

A turning point in his career came in 2005, when he became a cameraman, exploring a new facet of the visual world. In 2007, he discovered a passion for photography, adding another artistic string to his bow. In 2010, he successfully founded his own photo agency, highlighting his entrepreneurial spirit.

In 2017, Kobalt made the radical choice to sell his agency and fully embrace graphic art, influenced by his son, who had become a major figure in the global street art scene. A pioneer of computer-assisted artistic creation, Kobalt stands out with more than 3,000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

His artistic approach is distinguished by the bold use of humor, provocation, and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for subverting magazine covers—a style that makes his work instantly recognizable.

Despite the digital age, Kobalt has chosen to remain outside social media, thereby preserving a degree of privacy. Today, he uses all the digital tools available to bring his creations to life, continuing to push the boundaries of artistic expression with a subtle blend of inspiration, innovation, and humor.
