Why I chose this work

I discovered Ster through our shared passion for Paris's artistic scene. Last March, I walked into Urban Art Fair and there he was again. April, we met. May, he's opening Galerie Noren's first drop. His use of texture, recycled materials, beige and linen tones as a base for colors that hit hard. No white. Never.

Mayarko is quintessential Ster : aerosol, acrylic, modelling paste, all working together on a recycled support. The forms are rooted in graffiti lettering, reinterpreted with a rawness and a palette that is entirely his own. That combination of street energy and craft is exactly what drew me to his work.

The artist

SterParis, France

Self-taught, Mikaël got his start in the graffiti world in the early 2000s. He pursued his passion alongside his business studies, then his professional career, carrying it with him through all his travels and painting in the streets of New York, the favelas of Medellín, and along the beaches of Bali.

In 2019, he turned professional to fully dedicate himself to creation and to sharing his passion for contemporary art.

He now works across a wide range of surfaces, from paper to building facades, including canvas, as well as surfboards and skateboards to which he gives a second life. He also combines techniques freely, from spray paint to watercolor, acrylic to oil pastel, using whatever it takes to make colors vibrate and play with textures.

To reach as many people as possible, he puts on live painting performances that spark curiosity and open up exchanges with the public. He can also make you part of the process, through collaborative murals or introductory spray and brush workshops.

Mindful of environmental preservation, he takes a particular interest in projects that share those values. He also seeks to minimize his footprint, paying attention to how he travels, the materials he uses, and the surfaces he chooses. These are values Galerie Noren shares.
