PURPOSE FUELS PASSION


MY NAME IS THIBO VILLENEUVE, AND I’M A MIXED-MEDIA ARTIST BORN AND RAISED IN SAINT-TROPEZ, FRANCE. I HAVE BEEN LIVING IN MIAMI THE LAST 12 YEARS. I ALWAYS HAD A PASSION FOR DRAWING AND PAINTING AS MY DAD COLLECTED COMICS BOOK AND LEFT ME A BLANCK WALL TO PAINT ON IN THE APARTEMENT I GREW IN.

IN MIAMI I BEGAN MY CREATIVE PATH WORKING FOR WORLD RENOWNED ARTIST BRENDAN MURPHY, WHO SHOWED ME THAT MAKING A LIVING OF MY PASSION COULD BE A REALITY. LATER ON, I EXPENDED MY SKILLS WORKING FOR MILAN VUKMIROVIC A VERY TALENTED CREATIVE DIRECTOR WITH OVER 20 YEARS EXPERIENCES IN FRANCE AND ITALY.AS HIS ASSISTANT FOR OVER 7 YEARS, I WORKED ON NUMEROUS PHOTO-SHOOTS AND EXPERIENCED THE CREATIVE SIDE OF DESIGNING COMPLETE COLLECTIONS IN A FAST PACED FASHION WORLD.

SINCE THEN, I’VE TAKEN MY EXPERIENCES IN DESIGN, PAINTING AND PHOTOGRAPHY AND FUSED THEM IN TO MY BRAND, DREAM OF DESIRE. DREAM O DESIRE STARTED WITH PAINTINGS ON CANVAS MADE USING HAND-MADE STENCILS,ACRYLIC PAINT AND SPRAY PAINTS COMBINED WITH PRINTED IMAGES.USING SIMILAR TECHNIQUES AS MY PAINTINGS, I CREATED A COLLECTION OF HAND-PAINTED JACKETS THAT ARE 1 OF 1.
I’VE RECENTLY EXPENDED TO T-SHIRTS DERIVED FROM DESIGNS I MADE ON PAINTINGS AND JACKETS.IN MY DESIGNS I OFTEN COMBINE QUOTES FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES WHICH I PUT TOGETHER TO MAKE SHORT STORIES

MY WORK IS INSPIRED BY THE BLURRED LINE BETWEEN THE GOOD AND THE BAD, THE COMPLEXITY OF PEOPLE EMOTIONS AND OUR JOYFUL OR DIFFICULT TIME DURING OUR JOURNEYS.I MAKE ART THAT IS AN EXTENSIONS OF MY FEELINGS THOUGHTS AND BELIEFS. A CREATIVE COLLECTION FOR DAY DREAMERS AND NIGHT THINKERS.
