INVADERS GOLD (2023) Sculpture by Secam

Stéphane Castet-Moulat, alias SeCaM is a contemporary French artist, born in 1972 and residing in Salon-de-Provence. A self-taught painter, his journey into the world of art took a transformative turn after years spent crafting images as a graphic designer. The urge to channel his creativity into more personal and expressive works intensified over time.

In 2015, SeCaM, a devourer of images, took a bold leap into the realm of painting, fueled by passion and diligence. His artistic inspiration draws from a rich tapestry of sources including collective memory, imagination, media, cinema, and pop culture.

Identifying himself as a craftsman, SeCaM seamlessly navigates between various techniques such as stencil, collage, acrylic, pastel, and more, all in pursuit of creating what he considers a "beautiful piece of work." The creative process follows a consistent pattern: an idea sparks the inception, followed by iconographic research and the actual creation of the artwork. The final step involves a unique "deconstruction" phase, where paint is fervently thrown onto the canvas.

The outcome of SeCaM's artistic endeavors is a vibrant collection of colorful works, rich in details, showcasing a fusion of pop art and street art with a subtle touch of surrealism and derision. Whether through intuitive or deliberate gestures, bright hues or black and white contrasts, evoking nostalgia or embracing modernity, SeCaM's approach consistently revolves around a singular goal – aesthetics. His creations resonate with a distinctive visual language, capturing the essence of his artistic journey and commitment to the pursuit of visual beauty.
