My name is Mister Melody. Since 2021, I've been transforming audio cassettes and forgotten media into unique portraits, imprinting them with what I call my pictorial melody. My name is a tribute to Serge Gainsbourg, whose music profoundly influenced my artistic sensibility. It's not just a nod to him: it's a declaration of what I seek to capture through my work—the memory, the rhythm, the intensity of what music leaves behind.

I define myself as a portrait doodler, but behind this lighthearted term lies a rigorous and instinctive approach. I play with textures, stencils, colors, and shapes, always guided by the idea of ​​giving life to what is already imbued with experience. Each cassette tape, each surface I salvage, becomes the medium for a story, an emotion, a sonic vibration transformed into an image.

My world is nourished by strong influences: Banksy for his audacity, Warhol for the contrast between pop and depth, Jef Aérosol for his sense of portraiture and capturing the moment. But beyond these references, I strive to create something original, unique, immediately recognizable, a style qui ne se limite pas à l’esthétique mais qui communique un message, un souffle, une énergie.

The audio cassette is more than just a medium for me. It's a symbol. It embodies memory, sound, the human trace. Recycling it into an artwork allows me to resonate with this memory in a new way, to transform a forgotten object into a fragment of identity, a visual vibration. Each portrait I create on these cassettes attempts to capture what music and memories leave within us: emotions, outlines of personality, an almost tangible presence.

My work is also nourished by context and encounters. I have exhibited, notably at the Hellfest Off Festival and the Nuit des Arts in Roubaix, which has allowed me to share my world with diverse and passionate audiences. Each exhibition, each contact with a collector, an art lover, or simply someone curious helps me refine my approach and remain true to what drives me: free and authentic creation.

I want my art to remain accessible and vibrant. My works are available for sale, and I also create custom pieces. The idea is to share, to offer a meaningful artistic object to those who wish to keep or give a unique, personal, and musical memento.

By creating pictorial melody, I seek above all to capture a fragment of life, a breath of sound transformed into an image. My work is not merely aesthetic: it tells a story, that of collective and individual memory, that of the encounter between a forgotten object and the life that flows through it anew.

I strive to make each work human, understandable, accessible, unpretentious, and speak to everyone. I do not seek to impose a theory or create unnecessary mystery: I want what is on the cassette, in the stencil or the texture, to be obvious, sincere, and alive.

Each work is a little melody that can be touched.
