Biography

Lives and works in Montreuil, France.
Ardif is a French artist from Paris with a background in architecture, who has devoted himself entirely to artistic creation. His unique universe explores the intersection of nature and mechanization through his iconic mechanimals, hybrid creatures that merge the organic and the mechanical. Combining the precision of technical drawing with poetic sensitivity, he reveals the tension between vital instinct and urban artificiality. His finely detailed stencils, found on the walls of Paris and beyond, captivate with their balance and intricacy, envisioning a future where the natural and the industrial coexist. Through his work, Ardif breathes new life into the city while questioning humanity’s place within its environment.
