Serval
Geneva / Switzerland
Serval has been playing with light and shade since 1992. His passion for and knowledge of classical and contemporary painting have profoundly influenced his work, and set him apart from other urban artists of his generation. Invited to exhibit and paint around the world for over 20 years, he brings his deep knowledge of urban cultures and his passion for sharing and connecting to every journey.
His work as an illustrator completes the balance he seeks between abstraction and narrative, between emotion and mastery. An artist whose mastery of aerosol is recognized worldwide, Serval has been studying and working for several years to deepen the links between his work as a painter, his life as a dancer and the texts he writes in the course of his projects.
Resident artist at the Musée d’Art et d’Histoire de Genève since 2016, his abstractions lead to a depth of reflection and sharing that his years of university studies have shaped both in terms of subject matter and accessibility, from urban spaces to gallery canvases.
