S4M<\/strong>, whose real name is Samuel Guillemot, is a French artist based in Paris, known for his street art and detailed portraits created with ballpoint pen on newspapers. Born in 1971 in Bourges, S4M grew up in Alsace near Obernai in an artistic environment, influenced by his maternal grandfather, an amateur painter and sculptor, as well as his parents who introduced him to museums and exhibitions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#466d5c” font_size_min=”15px” font_size_max=”25px” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”none” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Training and Influence” font_size=”2vw” font_line_height=”1.4″ text_direction=”default” el_class=”semi-bold”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Passionate about comics from childhood, S4M began by copying characters from Walt Disney and comic artists like Gotlib, Franquin, and Morris. He experimented with various techniques such as India ink, wash, graphite, and watercolor, with a strong preference for black and white. At the age of 15, he took classes with a local painter, learning the fundamentals of observational drawing, shading, and composition\u200b (s4m-artwork<\/a>)\u200b\u200b\u200b.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#466d5c” font_size_min=”15px” font_size_max=”25px” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”none” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Artistic Career” font_size=”2vw” font_line_height=”1.4″ text_direction=”default” el_class=”semi-bold”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

Working primarily as a television director of photography, S4M gradually incorporated street art into his professional journey. His works are heavily influenced by his cameraman experience, particularly in the use of light and contrasting atmospheres. He is known for his realistic portraits of famous and anonymous figures, often created on repurposed materials like old newspapers or maps, giving them new meaning and a timeless dimension.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ text_color=”#466d5c” font_size_min=”15px” font_size_max=”25px” line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”none” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Themes and Techniques” font_size=”2vw” font_line_height=”1.4″ text_direction=”default” el_class=”semi-bold”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
