Born in 2000, YOANN BONNEVILLE aka YBA is a contemporary artist who renews portraiture with a look that catches our attention, tracing the faces of diversity, a message of unity full of emotion. Attracted by urban arts from an early age, this young artist from Nantes experiments with different techniques and even creates his own working tools.

From face to face, Yoann Bonneville's canvases captivate as much by the mastery of technique as by the brilliance of the subject. A true self-taught artist who uses acrylics, aerosols and superimposed collages, seeking to decipher our emotions, our views, our freedom, our times and our society. Portraiture is naturally at the heart of the artist's approach, and he questions our humanity with ardor and accuracy, behind the purely aesthetic beauty of faces and the strong emotions that flow from them in his art.

YBA superimposes techniques whose sole motivation is to make us forget them. “My faces, fragmented, inlaid, worn, built around the three letters Y, B and A, composed of my artist's name YBA, represent the DNA of my art (...) are quite simply human beings at the heart of this whirlwind that sweeps us along and that is called life. YBA's paintings focus on the faces of human diversity, through intense glances, he immortalizes the times in which he lives, the world around us, the street and all the people who inspire him.
