Painting Simone by Mestre Mark | Painting Street art Graffiti Pop icons

Influenced by Street Art and comic strips, the Swiss artist and illustrator Mark Alexander Mestre composed his first drawings in the 2000s in sketchbooks full of graffiti. Having graduated from the Ecole d’Art Ceruleum in Lausanne, he began painting in 2014 and produced his first portraits of jazz musicians. Passionate about urban culture, his last series of portraits, in black and white this time, is dedicated to contemporary hip-hop figures. Produced on cardboard and in a smaller format, this collection would make up the covers of future albums. Music, painting and drawing in a single work of art.
