Naif, Bordeaux

[FR] Je me surnomme Naïf, je suis peintre dans la région bordelaise.
J’ai commencé à peindre au début des années 2000 par le biais du graffiti, puis au fur et à mesure des années je me suis progressivement détaché de la lettre du fait mes rencontres picturales (la figuration libre, l’art brut…) pour aller vers quelque chose de plus organique et de plus imagé.
Mis à part un bref passage aux beaux arts je suis principalement autodidacte.

[ENG]I call myself Naïf, I am a painter in the Bordeaux region.
I started painting in the early 2000s. I started as a graffiti writer, then as the years went by I gradually detached myself from the letter because of my pictorial discovers (the free figuration, the art brut…) to go towards something more organic and more pictorial.
Apart from a brief passage at a fine arts school I am mainly self-taught.

Ton nom tu l’as choisi comme une définition de ton style ?
En quelque sorte, il est lié en parti à ma manière d’aborder le dessin et à ce que je voulais exprimer dans mes peintures.

Did you choose your name as a definition of your style?
In a way, it is partly related to the way I approach drawing and what I wanted to express in my paintings.

C’est une impression ou tu peins plutôt en solo ?
Il m’arrive de peindre en solo mais la plupart du temps je peins avec des potes peintres et avec ma famille de graffiti.

Is it a feeling or do you paint mostly solo ?

Sometimes I paint alone but most of the time I paint with my painting buddies and my graffiti family.

Est-ce que tu peux partager avec nous le dernier titre que tu as écouté en boucle ces derniers temps ?
What song have you been listening to on repeat lately?

Metallica – Orion

1- Tell us a few words about yourself. Where are you from?
I’m from Moscow in Russia. I started painting in 2007, at that time I was still in school, it all started with ordinary graffiti, then I was just drawing fonts with outline, volume and lots of colours…

2- The black shapes on your pieces seem a mix of abstraction and letters. Are we supposed to read something?
The black shapes are letters, each drawing is a word, each time it’s different. I very rarely write my name.

3- How can you define your style, what inspires you?
I consider myself a graffiti artist in spite of my abstract appearance.
I’m inspired by everything around me, I can be inspired by anything.

4- And to conclude is there a track that you have listened to repeatedly last weeks ?
I listen to very different, I don’t really have favorite, all music is good !!! For example, I often listen to the band “King and Jester“.
