Thierry Lefort was born in 1967. It was at the age of twelve, untouched by any theoretical and technical learning, that he picked up pencils, brushes, pastels and produced his first drawings and his first paintings. It's the revelation, he finds his own way of apprehending the world, its light, its colors and above all its beauty. Then it is Chinese calligraphy, practiced in Henan province in China, which leads him to a greater clarity of line.

In 2021, Yoyo Maeght devotes an exhibition to him in Paris, followed by another in 2022. Other exhibitions take place in Bordeaux or even in Aix en Provence.

From this collaboration, several prints are published, and also quickly sold out.
