    Urban Score /  Gentilly Conservatory Mural

    Urban Score is a large-scale mural project created at the Conservatory of Gentilly, in France, transforming the building into a visual composition inspired by music, theatre, and dance. The work was commissioned by the City of Gentilly and developed in collaboration with Grand Orly Seine Bièvre and Osaro Street Art. This mural is designed as a visual score, where each part of the building corresponds to a different artistic discipline practiced inside the conservatory.

    The concept of Urban Score is based on the idea that a building dedicated to the arts can itself become a form of artistic expression. The conservatory is not only a place where music, theatre, and dance are taught. It is also a space where creativity is constantly evolving. The mural translates this dynamic into a visual language, turning the architecture into a readable composition, almost like a musical score.

    The Street Side / A Cyberpunk Female Figure

    On the street-facing side of the building, I painted a female character inspired by my recurring visual universe. She embodies themes that are central to my work: fusion between human and machinecyberpunk aesthetics, organic and mechanical contrasts, direct visual connection with the viewer. Her gaze engages with passersby, creating an immediate interaction between the artwork and the public space. This side acts as an entry point into the mural’s narrative.

    The Garden Side  / From Theatre to Music and Dance

    As the visual narrative continues towards the garden side of the building, the mural transitions into the disciplines taught inside the conservatory. Theatre / Masks representing comedy and tragedy illustrate the theatrical art form. These symbols reflect emotional duality and performance. Music / A koto, traditional Japanese instrument, represents the music department of the conservatory. Its presence introduces a connection between tradition and contemporary visual language. Dance / A dancing silhouette expresses movement and physical interpretation, completing the transition from visual symbol to kinetic expression.

    The mural also integrates typography as part of the composition. Words become structural elements that guide the viewer through the artwork and help identify the function of the building. Large-scale text such as: “CONSERVATORY” / “I dance” / “I sing” / “I play”. It creates a direct link between language and visual art. These elements reinforce the idea that the building itself is an open score, readable both visually and conceptually.

    Unlike purely decorative street art, Urban Score was designed as a functional mural. Its role is not only aesthetic but also communicative: it identifies the purpose of the building, connects exterior and interior activities and translates artistic disciplines into visual form. The mural becomes part of the identity of the Conservatory of Gentilly, integrating into its daily life and public presence. This project was made possible thanks to: City of Gentilly, Grand Orly Seine Bièvre, and Osaro Street Art. Special thanks to Lisa, Delphine, Elise, Robin, Katell, Florent, René, and Antonin for their support during the project.

    The Road Warriors 2025 / 8000 km Street Art Road Trip Across the USA

    The Road Warriors 2025 marks a new chapter in a long-term artistic project that began in 2018. Over the years, this travelling series has evolved into a recurring road trip across the United States, bringing together artists, friends, and local communities through street art and mural painting. This 2025 edition follows a journey of approximately 8000 kilometers, starting from Austin, Texas, and crossing multiple cities across the American West, including El Paso, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Berkeley, Las Vegas, Albuquerque, before returning to Austin.

    Once again, I travelled with Sloke, continuing a collaboration and friendship that has shaped several editions of The Road Warriors project. The idea behind The Road Warriors is simple: travel, meet people, and paint murals along the way. Unlike traditional commissioned projects, this journey is built on spontaneity, encounters, and long-standing connections within the international street art community. Each stop becomes an opportunity to reconnect with local artists, revisit familiar places, and create new visual interventions in the urban landscape.

    The 2025 edition of The Road Warriors covered roughly 8000 kilometers across the United States. During this journey, around 12 murals were created in different cities. Each piece reflects not only the location where it was painted but also the atmosphere of the moment: conversations, reunions, improvisation, and shared creative energy. Street art in this context is not only about the final image on the wall, but also about the process of movement, exchange, and collaboration.

    El Paso / A border city with a strong cultural identity, where the mural reflects the intensity of the desert landscape and the energy of the environment.

    Los Angeles / A major stop of the journey, where multiple works were created, including pieces with brothers from my crew CBS and influenced by the scale and density of the city.

    San Francisco & BerkeleyReturning to Northern California allowed reconnection with artists and friends from Lords crew while painting along railroad and urban atmosphere.

    Las Vegas / A city defined by contrast, lights, and artificial landscapes, influencing a more visually intense approach.

    Albuquerque / A symbolic passage through the Southwest, marked by open spaces and desert tones.

    Austin (Start and End Point) Austin remains the anchor point of the project, both the departure and return location, closing the loop of the journey.

    This edition was again developed in collaboration with Sloke, continuing a creative partnership that has been part of multiple Road Warriors trips. Working together on the road allows for constant exchange of ideas, techniques, and visual languages, while adapting to each city’s unique environment. Beyond painting, The Road Warriors is also about people. During this 2025 edition, I had the opportunity to reconnect with many artists and friends across different cities, including Skew, Tommy, Vida, Jaber, Vyal, Quake, Bukue, Griffin, Dley and Critik. These encounters are an essential part of the project, reinforcing the idea that street art is built on long-term human relationships as much as on visual production.

    This article presents a selection of the murals and visual moments that best represent this edition of The Road Warriors. Rather than documenting every piece individually, the focus is placed on key works and atmospheres that define the overall experience of the trip. Each mural exists both as an individual artwork and as part of a larger narrative spanning thousands of kilometers.

    Since its first edition in 2018, The Road Warriors has become a recurring artistic format rather than a single project. Each year (2018, 2019, 2023, 2024, and now 2025), the journey evolves, expands, and adapts to new cities, new encounters, and new artistic directions. What remains constant is the core idea: painting on the road as a way of connecting places, people, and experiences.

    What is House of Paint Geneva?

    VALKYRIE Geneva during the “House of Paint” project

    “Valkyrie” in Geneva is more than a façade painting, it is a statement about our times. Being invited to Geneva for the House of Paint project was both an honor and a milestone in my artistic journey. The event brought together a community of international street artists to transform walls outside and inside severals buildings into vibrant narratives, and I was fortunate to contribute with a large-scale mural titled Valkyrie.

    From the very beginning, the organization by Wall’s Street GVA and House of Paint was as always warm and perfect, i had honor to participate to previous edition in Geneva, you can find here, Edition 1 / Edition 2 / Edition 3. The team provided a space where creativity could flourish without limits, and the local community welcomed us with an openness that is rare to encounter. I am also grateful to Loopcolors for their unwavering support in providing the tools and materials that made this project possible.

    The mural, titled “Valkyrie,” is not just an image but a narrative frozen in time. I envisioned a cyberpunk valkyrie, a contemporary reinterpretation of the mythological female warrior. Traditionally, Valkyries in Norse mythology were figures who decided the fate of warriors in battle, guiding the chosen ones to Valhalla. In my piece, this legendary archetype is reimagined within the framework of the 21st century, where humanity is constantly negotiating its relationship with technology.

    The Valkyrie figure stands tall, embodying strength, resilience, and grace. She represents a hybrid identity: part human, part machine, yet deeply anchored in the human struggle for meaning and dignity. By her side, a robotic companion armed with dual katanas emerges as both guardian and ally. This figure symbolizes the tools we create, machines that can either defend or endanger us, depending on how we choose to use them. Together, they invite reflection on our evolving bond with technology, urging us to confront both its promises and its perils.

    Surrounding the two protagonists are peonies, chosen deliberately for their symbolism of courage and perseverance. Their delicate petals contrast with the sharp, metallic forms of cybernetic elements woven throughout the composition. This juxtaposition is central to the piece: the organic versus the mechanical, tradition versus innovation, vulnerability versus resilience. As in much of my work, the mural revisits a recurring theme: how do we preserve our humanity as we merge with the machines of our era? This question has become increasingly urgent as technology permeates every aspect of our lives, from communication to art, from medicine to warfare.

    The House of Paint project provided the perfect stage for this exploration. With the support of the organizers, partners, and local community, this mural has become part of Geneva’s cultural landscape, adding one more voice to the city’s vibrant conversation with art. For me personally, it marks another step in an ongoing journey to question the role of art in a world increasingly shaped by technology, and to celebrate the resilience of humanity as we navigate that transformation.

About my Walls

Street art murals and walls

Street art murals and walls have become one of the most dynamic forms of contemporary public art. Unlike traditional graffiti, murals offer the possibility of creating large-scale visual narratives that transform architecture into cultural landmarks. Over the past three decades, my practice has progressively evolved from graffiti lettering toward contemporary figurative mural painting, developing a visual language that combines cyberpunk aesthetics, Art Nouveau composition and architectural storytelling.

Today, mural painting represents the core of my artistic activity. Whether commissioned by municipalities, cultural institutions or private companies, every project begins with the same objective: creating a site-specific artwork that responds to its environment while maintaining a strong artistic identity.

Large-Scale Murals

Working on monumental walls fundamentally changes the way an image is conceived.

Unlike an illustration created for paper or screen, a mural must interact with architecture, natural light, surrounding buildings and the movement of pedestrians. The wall itself becomes part of the composition.

Each project therefore begins with an analysis of the site. Dimensions, perspective, textures and the urban context all influence the final design.

Rather than applying the same visual formula to every commission, I develop compositions that establish a dialogue with the place itself. This approach allows every mural to become unique while remaining recognisable as part of my artistic universe.

Artistic Direction

My current murals combine two visual worlds that rarely meet.

The first comes from cyberpunk culture, inspired by artists such as Syd Mead and Katsuhiro Otomo, where cities evolve into dense ecosystems of technology, architecture and layered information.

The second draws upon Art Nouveau, particularly Alfons Mucha, whose ornamental compositions, flowing lines and elegant characters continue to influence my approach to composition.

The fusion of these two universes creates images where organic forms coexist with mechanical structures, where vegetation grows through architecture and where contemporary figures inhabit imagined urban environments.

Rather than illustrating science fiction, these murals question the future of our cities and our relationship with technology, memory and nature.

Public and Private Commissions

Over the years I have created murals for municipalities, cultural institutions, festivals, companies and private clients.

Each commission begins with listening. Some projects celebrate local history. Others revitalise forgotten public spaces.

Some communicate the identity of a company or institution. Others simply seek to create an immersive artistic experience.

Because every wall has its own architectural identity, every composition is designed specifically for its location rather than adapted from an existing artwork.

This custom approach allows each mural to become part of the place where it is installed.

International Projects

Travelling has played an essential role in shaping my artistic practice.

Over the years I have painted throughout France while also participating in festivals and artistic collaborations across Europe, North America and Asia.

These experiences introduced me to different architectural styles, urban cultures and artistic communities.

Projects such as Belgium, Geneva or Perpignan, collaborations with the CBS Crew in Los Angeles and invitations to international festivals have continuously expanded my visual vocabulary.

Rather than reproducing local imagery, these journeys have enriched my understanding of how public art interacts with different cities and audiences.

From Concept to Walls

Every mural and walls follows a structured creative process.

It begins with research and discussion, followed by sketches, digital simulations and compositional studies.

The concept is then integrated into photographs of the actual location whenever possible, allowing clients to visualise the finished artwork before production begins.

Once approved, execution takes place on site using professional mural techniques adapted to the wall and environmental conditions.

This process ensures that creativity and technical precision evolve together from the first conversation to the completed mural.

Why Commission a Mural

A mural is more than decoration. It can transform an ordinary building into a landmark.

It can strengthen the identity of a neighbourhood. It can improve the visual experience of employees, visitors or residents.

It can communicate values without relying on advertising. For cultural institutions and municipalities, murals often become part of the city’s visual heritage.

For businesses, they reinforce identity while creating memorable public spaces. For private collectors, they provide unique site-specific artworks impossible to reproduce elsewhere.

This relationship between architecture and painting is what continues to motivate my work today.

Frequently Asked QUestions

What types of murals and walls do you create?

Large-scale contemporary murals inspired by cyberpunk, Art Nouveau, architecture and urban culture.

Do you paint walls outside France?

Yes. I regularly work internationally depending on the project and logistics.

Who commissions your murals?

Municipalities, cultural institutions, companies, festivals and private clients.

How long does a mural project take?

It depends on the size, complexity and location, but every project begins with a detailed planning phase.

Can you create a custom design for a specific building?

Yes. Every mural is designed specifically for its architectural context rather than adapted from an existing artwork.
