Pierrot started his own company where he paints his artwork for people. On his website, Pierrot writes: "Passionate about drawing, I founded my decoration company GrafoDeco. Addressing both individuals and professionals (public or private companies), event organizers, associations, or all those who are anxious to bring a touch of originality to their interior or exterior decorations. I paint all supports (walls, panels, canvases ...) and of all sizes."
Pierrot didn't study in any art schools or anything similar. He started like most street artists—on the streets. He learned everything he knows on his own or from other artists. In a previous interview, Pierrot mentioned that he was inspired by a school friend to start creating art.
Pierrot doesn't just do street art, he creates interactive optical illusions and they are very difficult to do. The level at which you have to understand perspective, light, and many other things is insane and requires a lot of experience. This shows perfectly that street art is not always just vandalism, it's also an amazing and very technical art form.
Pierrot tops off his amazing graffiti by coming up with fun ways to photograph it. He makes his art interactive so that people can take fun and unique photos with all kinds of creatures, characters, and even animals that don't exist anymore. Pierrot himself dresses and poses with his work, which often is one of the reasons his work goes viral.
We got an interview from Pierrot and asked what the goal of his street art is: "My primary goal is to make people laugh. For people to have fun and escape by looking at my paintings. I have been drawing since I was little, my cousin drew a lot, and I started vandal graffiti in 2001 with a school friend."
"The hardest part is not repeating myself over time. I always try to create something new. Sometimes animals come back in my paintings, but I'm usually trying to find something that best suits the wall. I need to paint without always doing the same; it's quite difficult over time."
We asked Pierrot what topics he chooses for his graffiti: "I don't have a particular subject or theme in mind. I don't convey a specific message through my art. I just try to keep it childish and fun."
"My style is mostly 3D and quite cartoon-like. It depends on the moment. However, the main goal is to make people smile. So that the people who discover my paintings will have a moment of lightness in a world where everything goes so fast and crazy. I watch a lot of cartoons. My goal is also to get away from the problems of everyday life and dream."
Pierrot tells us how he chooses what to draw: "It also depends on the moment. I watch a movie or a cartoon and an idea comes to me. I also come up with ideas by looking at the wall I'm about to work on. The idea comes to me because the general shape of the wall is different (angles or wall superposition). I try to change the main subject of my art often. I don't want to get stuck doing the same thing over and over again."
"I started doing 3D designs 5 or 6 years ago, but I've been painting for 20 years. I still hope to paint even being old with a long white beard, young people will call me 'the old fool of the village.'"
