MIST Born in 1972 / Works in MONTPELLIER It is at the end of the 80's that Mist discovers graffiti along the railways of the RER while going to his graphic art school in Paris. Captivated by what he saw, he realized his first graffiti in 1988. His paintings with acidulous and wildstyle colors leave nobody indifferent. Very quickly he is recognized as one of the most talented graffiti artist of the capital. He is also one of the rare ones who excels as well in the work of volumes as in the drawing. In 1998, he develops his work of sculpture and realizes his first character in volume. In 2001, with his label "Bonustoys", he publishes his own toys. He then became one of the pioneers of what we call "designer toys", these small vinyl sculptures today have been produced from 100 to 1000 copies and have been sold in collectible toy stores around the world. Specialists place him in the world's top five alongside artists like Kaws and Futura. Today, Mist is fully dedicated to his creation in his studio in Montpellier, where he lives.
