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
