La Casa de Papel revisitée (2020) Drawing by Le Kiwano

Born on June 15, 1986 in Arras, Vincent is the eldest of 4 siblings.

Inspired by his 2 painter grandfathers, he began to draw quickly, filling sketchbooks that only he could understand.

At 13, he joined a drawing association where he received wise advice from the supervisor. At the end of 3rd grade, he had to choose: join a technical drawing course, or a more artistic course.

He decided to take the artistic path and tried the ESAAT competition in Roubaix (higher school of applied arts and textiles).
To his great surprise, he was among those selected.

ESAAT allowed Vincent to learn the basics of drawing, the different conventional techniques. 3 years that reinforced his passion.

With his diploma acquired, he continued his adventure in BTS visual communication in Loos les Lille. He learned to combine his creative skills with different software in order to become a graphic designer. During his 3 years in BTS, he developed a very rich floral universe, drawn only with a ballpoint pen on Canson paper.

In 2007, he joined c.com, a school offering work-study training. This is how he entered the world of work while continuing to learn the profession. He obtained the level III diploma of graphic designer in 2009.

He remained in the company of his work-study program for 13 years. In 2018, Vincent decided to create a micro-business in the field of graphic design in order to get out of his comfort zone, open up to other requests and be challenged by real clients.

It was during 2018 that he met Jessica, a colleague who came to help out as a graphic designer, who encouraged him to show his drawings to the public. Following her advice, he made a first drawing (utopian universe) in black and white and published it on his social networks.

The craze was there!

The public appreciated it.

So he continued to produce for himself at first, until he was given orders. Vincent evolved from black and white to color, allowing him to spread a message of joy, well-being and to find an artistic approach.

Since 2020, he has focused on his micro-business and his artistic world. Today, Vincent creates his art both on small formats (canvases, drawings, etc.) and on different supports (mailboxes, shoes, planters, etc.) or walls, and he intends to continue to bring color into people's lives.
