Kalö is a Parisian artist who fell in love with art and design at an early age. The young man won the Toulouse-Lautrec prize in 2010 then graduated in applied arts in 2015. He spent years working as an artistic director at an ad agency. His passion for art never left him and he continued exploring his creative side as a hobby. Kalö went back to his first love: pop culture. The artist has a passion for manga, graphic novels, street art and pop culture in general.

Kalö draws inspiration from his childhood comics, icons in pop culture and advertising to put the spotlight on how society today influences people. Dran is one of his biggest street art influences. Kalö plays with different worlds and blends them with reality to create "visual accidents" in a satire of the consumer society we live in. Not only does he like to bring different influences and worlds together, Kalö also likes to blend techniques and mediums. He uses collage, graffiti and ad posters to make his canvases. \n
