Hello, I'm Antonin R.

My name is Antonin, I am 30 years old, and my artist name is Textured. I have been trained as an engineer since 2016 and have been a contemporary painter since 2020. I followed the path of engineering somewhat by default, but also under the influence of external factors. In fact, I initially wanted to pursue graphic design studies, but for various reasons, I didn't follow my instincts at that time. All this to say that, despite being quite young and growing up in a family environment with little orientation towards art, I still had an unmistakable attraction to beauty, color, textures, and especially the freedom that graphic creation can offer. Professionally, I managed to get closer to this creative urge by becoming a Product Designer. In 2020, I joined an association called "Les Arts Ponctuels," bringing together artists from various disciplines to create and exchange ideas in groups. In the summer of 2020, I started creating graphic works inspired by pop culture. In this association, I met a painter, and in October 2020, I bought my first canvases and brushes, launching into my first painting, and it was clearly love at first sight! Since then, not a day goes by without me painting, exploring new techniques, colors, or textures, and working on refining my style. Completely self-taught, I strive to create impactful abstract works, both through their colors and textures, and their depth
