Hope 1393: from Paris graffiti to larger-than-life portraits
Hope, also known as Hope 1393, comes from Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb on the edge of Paris. In the 1990s, skateboarding and street art were his way of expressing himself, and he painted walls across Paris and its suburbs.
He later moved to the South of France, where American-style graffiti shaped his work and sharpened his skills.
In 2017 he moved from walls to canvas. Feminine beauty became the center of his art, along with nature and a wide range of styles. His portraits play darkness against bursts of color, often in very large formats. Precise lines and fluid brushwork join the elegance of his subjects to the grit of the street.
In 2022 he designed a shoe with the sports brand WILSON for the Roland Garros tournament. It sold out quickly. WILSON asked him back in 2023 for a new Roland Garros design, sold around the world.
