JEFLO is a multifaceted artist originating from Paris ( France ), now residing in Miami Beach, who has carved a niche for himself as a dynamic urban painter and an innovative music producer. His penchant for the arts was evident early on; he embarked on his musical journey at age eight with piano lessons and delved into the world of painting under the tutelage of esteemed artist and professor, René Ricaille, at twelve.

 

JEFLO’s vivid and impactful artwork has graced numerous exhibitions, both solo and collective. His academic pursuit in marketing provided a foray into the advertising industry, but his unyielding passion for creative expression propelled him to forsake a conventional career path in favor of painting and music composition. With a decade's experience as a professional musician and a fifteen-year tenure as a businessman in Paris, JEFLO has now once again dedicated himself entirely to his artistic endeavors.

 

His current artistic expression synthesizes electro-jazz compositions with the creation of canvases that burst with radiant hues. His palette is diverse, employing acrylics, spray paints, and markers, which he manipulates with an assortment of techniques including brushwork, palette knives, dripping, and splashing. JEFLO strives to capture the ethereal, such as emotions and introspection, by pushing colors to their fluorescent zeniths while still achieving a balance that is pleasing to the eye—even extending his vibrant art to the very edges of his canvases.

 

Astrophysics, a discipline he is deeply passionate about, heavily influences his art. JEFLO's creations are akin to poetic galaxies, where bursts of color represent cosmic explosions, and the vastness of space converges with minute details to suggest that humanity's minuteness can be a source of joy.

 

The profound words of astrophysicist Karl Sagan—"We are the universe experiencing itself"—resonate deeply with him, providing a philosophical underpinning to his work. Defining his style as "Urban Abstract," JEFLO continues to evolve, creating works that are not just seen but felt, inviting the viewer to a vibrant celebration of the universe and our place within it.
