The young street art artist Yann Chatelin lives in Berlin, but was born in the port city of Calais in France in 1980. He has spent 15 years in Morocco, where he lived from 2005-2020. He became aware of graffiti at the age of 15. He believes that technology replaces individual reflection and creativity. In his works, he reflects on the disappearance of the change of hand in favor of digital writing, which has unfortunately begun to take over. Everything handwritten is unique, it is like a print, a mirror of the author's personality. So for Yann, his art is a way for him to express himself creatively and leave his mark via his own handwritten words and phrases inspired by the calligraphic font.
