About Maximilien

Multidisciplinary artist graduated from the Fine Arts school in 2025, I have been developing work around imagery since childhood. Also trained for several years in architecture school, I then explored other forms of creation: illustration, art direction, graphic design, but also cooking - another creative field that taught me teamwork, rigor, and organization.

Today, I support businesses, restaurants, or brands in creating visual identities: logos, menus, flyers, original illustrations, tattoos. I enjoy thinking with each client about an image that reflects them, blending attention to detail with a poetic vision.

Since 2019, I have been specializing in the customization of sneakers, leather goods, and decorative objects, hand-painted with professional materials. I have probably customized over 2000 pairs to date - for individuals, institutions, brands, or during events.

I also regularly lead creative workshops (DIY, team-building, in-store activations...), where we co-create unique, flexible formats adapted to each context. For me, nothing is fixed: I like to invent, test, and renew formats.

Each project is an encounter. Whether for an artistic creation, a visual identity, an object to personalize, or an event to lead, I offer a sensitive, adaptable, and always unique approach.

Multitasker, autonomous, but comfortable in a team, I am an organized jack-of-all-trades, passionate about experimentation, seeking to create sincere and lasting visual experiences.

    Drawing and painting classes – Personalized artistic coaching
    ARTS AND CRAFTS
    September 2021 - Today (4 years and 9 months)
    Paris, France
    I offer drawing and painting classes for all levels, for beginners or those seeking a new perspective on their artistic practice.

    The coaching is tailor-made, according to each person's desires and goals: academic drawing (observation, proportions, shadows, perspective), painting techniques (gouache, acrylic, oil, watercolor, ink...), but also freer exploration, to help bring out the artist within you, at any age.

    I adapt to each student, with a benevolent, rigorous, and progressive approach. The idea is not to impose a method, but to build a personal, solid, and vibrant artistic path together.

    Customization workshops – Sneakers, leather goods, and more
    July 2019 - Today (6 years and 11 months)

    I offer personalized customization services, mainly on sneakers and leather goods, hand-made with professional paints.
    These services can take the form of tailor-made corporate events (team-building, after-work), in-store events (client activations, launches), or for private occasions (weddings, birthdays, etc.).
    Depending on the format, I offer either live customization on participants' items or supervised DIY workshops. Each experience is designed to be unique, creative, and rewarding for participants.

    Art direction & visual identity creation
    March 2017 - Today (9 years and 3 months)
    Paris, France
    I design tailor-made visual identities for businesses, restaurants, artists, or cultural projects: creation of logos, menus, flyers, posters, illustrations, graphic universes. My approach combines visual storytelling and adaptation to the specific needs of each client.

    I work both from a raw idea and in co-creation with the client, to offer a coherent, sensitive, and functional aesthetic. My projects often stem from encounters: word-of-mouth, artistic collaborations, or recommendations.

    This practice remains a pillar of my current activity, complementing my artistic and customization work.
