A new mural will appear in Odessa this year as part of the French Spring festival. The famous French artist Julien Malland (Seth) will come to create it. This will be Seth's first visit to Odessa.
Julien Malland was born in Paris in 1972. He became Seth in the 90s when he began to paint in the streets of Paris, after graduating from the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris. Before becoming a full-tine artist, Seth worked in the creative industries: advertising, cartoons, comics. He painted in the street for his own pleasure.
Starting from 2003, he went on a trip around the world to exchange with artists from different cultures, and to open up to new ways of living and painting in urban areas. A multi-talented artist and author, his artworks have been exhibited across the world.
