L’Atlas was born in Toulouse in 1978. He got into graffiti in the early 90’s
through the process of tagging, coming into an early public view at the walls
of his high school. His current name derives from the Atlas mountains of Morocco,
where he studied Arabic calligraphy. His works have been presented in museums
and galleries across the globe with numerous paintings belonging to private
collections in London, Tokyo, Lausanne, Jakarta, New York, Rome, Beijing,
Moscow, Marrakech and of course Paris, where he currently lives and works.
