Le Magicien d'Os

Monsta is a french mixed-media artist living and working in Lyon (France). After product design studies, a couple of years at fine arts school and a short stay in England, he decided to develop his personal projects and to dedicate himself entirely. Through his questionning, he's looking for a way to escape a pretty sad reality, and tries to awaken our chillhood side inside of us as a way-out. Monsta takes a gloomy and critical look at our society not forgetting to bring a touch of naivety and derision. A contrasting universe appears under his pencil stroke, the imagination of a (lost) child, where games stand alongside death, where monsters are both cute and terrifying and where dreams blend into nightmares. He uses different ways to express all these contradictions, whether it be drawing, painting, or sculpture and installation. Spray paint is a versatile, fast-drying aerosol medium known for vibrant colors, smooth coverage on diverse surfaces (metal, wood, canvas, paper), and its role in street art/graffiti, offering artists speed, portability, and unique control through different nozzles (caps) for detailed or broad applications, often used in mixed media for backgrounds or layering. While historically for graffiti, modern art brands offer low-odor, pigment-rich, water-based options for studio use, demanding practice for technique but enabling quick, large-scale art.
