Steve Salvat

Steeven Salvat is a French artist who lives and works in Paris. Born in 1990 in Menton, in the south of France, Steeven Salvat has been passionate about drawing and painting since his early childhood; nature and the living permeate its universe. His works are composed of several layers of hatching, using Indian ink, millions of lines and hundreds of hours of work.

Inspired in particular by Albrecht Dürer, Gustave Doré, Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, Molitz and Moebius, Steeven Salvat pays particular attention to technique and details. His favorite tool, the Rotring pen, allows him to obtain a result close to engraving but always with a touch of modernity. A meticulous and delicate work that praises the passing of time, where each line acts like a countdown.
His subjects highlight duality, particularly between nature and mechanics, in works that evoke the naturalist engravings of the 18th century. The animals to which he brings to life, line after line, interact with unique objects, pieces of goldwork, antique works of art...
