Ykstreetart
Art is the one and only tool we have left for our freedom of expression as well as raising awareness by transmitting messages.
Yankee, a 47-year-old French versatile artist, is a multidisciplinary creator from Paris, with deep Sicilian roots. Passionate about the arts from a young age, he enjoyed a career in the world of luxury that took him to live in places as diverse as Miami, London, Geneva, Monaco and Paris, from 1994 to the present day. This experience brought him considerable personal and cultural enrichment, as well as the open-mindedness necessary to adapt to very varied environments.
Art became more than a passion for Yankee, it became an essential part of his existence, a crutch that allowed him to navigate through the ups and downs of life. Every day, he reveals more of his rise as an artist, a work in perpetual evolution.
The point, a symbol of decision, became for him the choice to trace his artistic path, like a steel caterpillar on a blank sheet. This first adaptation to art marked the beginning of his artistic career, a career that he embraced with all his being.
Yankee defines himself as an artist, and he will remain so, because art is his way of forging his survival. Each of his creations emanates from his guts, a raw and authentic expression of his being, a way of continuing to move forward on the path of art.
In recent years, a new wave of contemporary artists has shaken up the codes, and Yankee is part of this movement. A self-taught and rebellious artist, he finds refuge in art, sublimating his suffering and his scars through incredible play of colors, paying homage to icons like Basquiat and Warhol.
His works reflect a life journey marked by intense events and emotions, recalling the importance of sharing and language. Yankee gives us his artistic approach with incredible spontaneity, boundless energy, undeniable talent and limitless generosity.
Building on numerous successful sales, Yankee has exported his art abroad and exhibited in prestigious cities such as Paris, London, Monaco, Dallas and Saint-Tropez. Additionally, he began a fruitful artistic collaboration with the famous designer Julien Chambon.
