Born in 1977 in Béthune, lives and works in

STUDIES:
Master of art and communication.
His « maniac
world » is populated by those « Maniacs », characterswho seems first fun
then worrying. They don’t stop smiling with a monstruous
rictus which seems particulary ambiguous because we don’t know if they
try to
captivate us or if they coax us to crunch us. If this parralel world,
abounding
and colorful enterntain in a first time, it turns out sweltering and
suffocating.
Skwak tells us the history of this community in his canvas which remind aborigine paintings in their brilliance, their visual intensity, in the
framework which is drawned with this multitude of elements and characters.
