About the Artist:

“The persistence of graffiti and the immutable beauty of the Flemish portrait, both stemming from codified systems, celebrate uniqueness and share a common memorial function. The brilliance of the paint, close to glass or skin, protects a fragile world while offering a space for creative tension. Parietal art, wrapped in silence, remains a visual encounter of timeless power.”

Born in 1958 in Lyon, Daniel Airam began with studies in graphic arts before working in the printing industry from 1975 to 1982. From that point on, he devoted himself entirely to engraving and participated in numerous exhibitions in France, Europe, the United States, and Japan.

Over time, he incorporated painting, sculpture, and video into his practice, broadening his means of expression. His work today revolves around a reflection on image and sign, exploring their forms and meanings.
