Art Collect Store - Thierry Mordant


Born in 1973 in northern France, Thierry Mordant is a surrealist artist with a multifaceted talent: illustrator, graphic designer, painter and creator of whimsical universes, he captivates with his original, humorous and distinctly offbeat personality. A graduate of the École Supérieure des Arts Appliqués in Roubaix, he moved to the South of France in 1991 and entered the world of Galerie Pictural in Monaco. Three years later, he designed his first postage stamp for the Principality. In 2005, he reached a form of consecration by illustrating the official stamps bearing the effigy of Prince Albert II.

A versatile, boundary-breaking artist, he embraces all mediums, formats and techniques: acrylic painting, drawing, sculpture, graphic design… nothing escapes him. Thierry Mordant has exhibited internationally and has received multiple awards for his work. Celebrities such as Michael Jackson, Tina Turner and Marc Lévy own pieces signed by his hand. His unmistakable style and his ability to surprise make him a truly singular artist.

Among his influences are Salvador Dalí, Siudmak, Enki Bilal, Georges de La Tour and José Roosevelt. In 1995, he discovered what would become his signature technique: toothbrush painting. This free and intuitive method opened a new creative horizon for him. As early as 1992, the Oceanographic Museum of Monaco commissioned him to create eight illustrations for its textile collection. Mordant quickly established himself as a leading figure in both the philatelic and artistic worlds.

In 2005, he published The Magical Universe of Thierry Mordant, the first book dedicated to his works from 2001 to 2005. In 2008, he crossed the Atlantic to live in Canada. In Quebec, he continued producing illustrations for magazines and for the Canadian postal service. Circus, cinema, sports — his favorite themes appear with humor and finesse.

Back in France in 2013, Thierry Mordant multiplied projects and creative explorations. He ventured into the animal world, creating commissioned portraits of feathered and furry companions — a personal touch that resonated strongly with his clients. He also turned his attention to unexpected subjects such as fruit — apples and pears — or even furniture. Always with the same blend of irreverence and tenderness.

Never where one expects him, Mordant also made his mark in… beer creation! A brand in his own image: sparkling, bold and unique. With humor and an impeccable eye for detail, he continues to expand his universe. A body of work that keeps surprising, somewhere between pop, poetry, surrealism and playful irony. Mordant tears it up — but always with elegance.
