Artwork location: France
This captivating and intriguing artwork is a perfect example of the mastery of contrast and rebellious expression. Done in a monochromatic palette of blacks, whites and greys, it depicts an enigmatic female figure, nonchalantly smoking a cigar. The face, partially shadowed, emerges from the background in a dramatic manner, instantly drawing the viewer’s attention.The details of the cigar emerging in wisps of smoke are meticulously executed, lending a striking realism to this seemingly carefree scene. The figure’s half-closed gaze and the relaxed pose of her fingers add a dimension of mystery and defiance.The surrounding graphic elements, including graffiti and paint splatters, intensify the raw, urban feel of the work. Stylized inscriptions, such as “Give” and “DFT,” seamlessly integrate into the composition, adding an additional layer of meaning and narrative complexity.The artist skillfully uses stencil and spray techniques to create varied textures and sharp contrasts, further enriching the visual dynamism of the piece. The background, rich in detail and nuance, serves as a tumultuous backdrop that contrasts with the apparent tranquility of the central face.This work is a powerful statement about attitude and identity, capturing both vulnerability and strength. It reflects a bold fusion of street art and classic portraiture, paying homage to the energy and complexity of contemporary urban life.

Presentation
French painter from the southwest of France, Flu in his youth is passionate about comics that he creates and develops fantasy characters. His notebooks are filled with pages of custom books. He finds his freedom in drawing.
In his adolescence, he discovers the art of graffiti, spray paint, markers, acrylic paint, drip stick, graffiti techniques, stencils. Influenced by the hip-hop vein landed from the United States, the first painted walls were not so far, an abandoned building, a bench, a train...
Flu then pursued his studies towards car painting where he obtained his diploma. Pushed by his family to create new things, he then devoted himself to painting and worked first on supports such as pallet wood, oil barrels...
Art becomes for Flu the perfect vector to satisfy his creative impulses and starts to paint on canvas and other supports. Flu draws his inspiration from pop art classics such as Warhol, R. Lichtenstein, Banksy, Romero Britto... as well as from his daily life and the street art scene. The paintings follow one another in universes always new and surprising. Never ceasing to evolve and reinvent himself, his trademark is that of a deep art, sometimes joyful, often brightly colored.
