/// Biographie de Moins12Prod ///
Moins12Prof is a multidisciplinary artist, muralist, visual artist and committed photographer. His production deliberately blurs the line between art and craft. He comes from a long career in the world of urban art and graffiti. An artistic and cultural movement that he documents in his photographic work.
His murals and his studio work feed off, respond to and inspire each other. Today he combines his compositions of hands or faces with a myriad of manual techniques such as casting, sculpture or mosaic.
In his research and recent works, he promotes the idea of the collective and the importance of human connection. His creations reflect a desire to bring to life urban art in tune with its reality. Moins12Prof starts from the following observation: once it is official, the spontaneous and ephemeral approach of the urban artist is no longer an intrinsic necessity. He will then, against the grain, take the time to work with the material, the tools and the support.

“Juntos” is the last piece in a series of several creations around two intertwined faces. A process which materialized in turn on canvas, on a wall, on the gable of a building and then again in the workshop.
A process during which the four hands came into position. Like a cocoon, they represent the structuring part. They are the continuation, the extremities of these two consciousnesses. Sculpted, they are the concrete and the timeless, where the faces are the spirit, the present moment and the emotion. Two faces of the same person like a deep duality, or else, two faces belonging to close, linked, intertwined beings.
The suggested foliage blends into the faces as in most of my creations. It is the symbol of the nature to which we belong, an essential web of life so obvious and yet so fragile.
