Biography:

Kobalt, born in Paris in 1970, embodies the fascinating journey of a polymath 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, Kobalt 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: divert the money intended to finance his higher studies to investing in the creation of his first album.

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

Alongside his musical career, Kobalt engages in the world of advertising as a copywriter for the iconic magazine Playboy. For many years he puts his creativity at the service of the publication, 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, 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 world street art. A pioneer of computer-assisted art creation, Kobalt stands out with more than 3000 works sold in galleries and online to date.

His unique artistic approach is characterized by bold use of humor, provocation, and anachronisms, with a particular penchant for misappropriating magazine covers, a style that makes him instantly recognizable.

The influence of contemporary artists such as Banksy and Shepard Fairey permeates Kobalt’s work, reflecting his continued admiration for these iconic figures. Despite the digital era, Kobalt has chosen to stay outside social networks, 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.
