Matthieu Darrasse, directeur artistique et designer graphique

Conceptual Art Director

An art director who finds the idea before giving it form. A rare profile, halfway between the copywriter and the graphic designer. It all starts with listening and thinking. Then comes the strong idea, then the graphic universe that carries it, coherent across every medium, from the business card to the website.

Trained at Penninghen (ESAG) then at ECV, I spent more than ten years at TBWA\Paris as an art director, on major campaigns for Nissan, McDonald's and Aides.

Alongside that, freelance work in Paris, Barcelona and Mexico City taught me to fit a whole brand into a few signs: Think Don't Think, Scootoro and Nanda-yo show it. In 2024, with ARTCENTO, an agency specialising in the art market, I brought in my eye as an art historian, trained at Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. And, all along, an artistic practice, to discover on the Artist page.
