Pablo Tomek

Emerging from the world of graffiti, the French artist Pablo Tomek, known for his experimental and underground work with his crew PAL, remains shrouded in mystery. 

Pablo Tomek's Art Style

Pablo Tomek's artistic journey began not within the confines of academies, but on the streets, where he honed his skills as a self-taught graffiti artist. 

Beyond the streets, the artist's studio becomes a laboratory. Here, he delves deeper, exploring the connections between graffiti's legacy and Abstract Expressionism. He disrupts traditional techniques and aesthetics of manual labor, weaving a powerful and thought-provoking practice that encompasses paintings, murals, experimental publications, and installations.

With bold strokes, he applies paint to the canvas, only to later return and erase portions of it. Through this process, Tomek reenacts the cycle of creative destruction, pushing himself to become its master.
