A young artist from Cannes born in 1989, Lis Sam has had a taste for creation from an early age. A self-taught street artist, he first expressed his art through graffiti, tagging and other drawings.

Later, his work took a more flowery turn when he incorporated roses into his world. Lis Sam quickly made a name for himself with his refined creations, and today exhibits in several international galleries.

It is with a desire to tell his story that he integrates butterflies into his glass sculptures and canvases. It's also a way of symbolizing his personal "rebirth": from construction worker to international artist living off his passion...

Lis Sam's butterflies are a beacon of hope, proving that anything is possible, and a hymn to freedom.

He then took an artistic turn: optical art. He creates more contemporary works, with touches of street art.

For several years he developed his own technique. Lis Sam echoes the time he spent in butterfly greenhouses in the South of France. As he watched them twirl in all directions, he imagined them freezing to form his favorite characters.

Back in his studio, he set about bringing his colorful portraits to life.

He then frames his work under museum glass, as if they were back in a greenhouse.

With the different play of light on the canvas, and the distance from which you stand, everyone sees a unique canvas.
