"Jupon" 2/3 (2018) Painting by Mickael Bereriche (KESMO)

Mickael Bereriche, aka KESMO, is a digital artist, painter and photographer whose artistic approach celebrates imperfection and raw material. His universe is made of various mediums that he saturates with inks and paints, playing with rust, mold and reliefs. KESMO likes to work with impasto, creating textured canvases that invite touch, almost like walls where each gesture leaves an imprint.

Graffiti, and more specifically tagging, is at the heart of his artistic expression. KESMO considers this practice as an ancestral art form, close to calligraphy and typography. For him, finding the most beautiful letter, then building a coherent whole, is a goldsmith's work that combines discipline and aesthetics. His journey began with tagging, and his love for well-made writing is a tribute to this practice that he has perfected since childhood.

KESMO's work fuses urban art and traditional pictorial techniques, creating a unique style where the brutality of the materials harmonizes with the finesse of the artistic gesture.
