The motto written on each of his works “real to virtual thru bricks” indicates the essence of his art. The front reveals the personality, the back its story with the QR code. Thanks to the unprecedented use in an artistic composition of a QR code itself made of Lego, qargo in addition to displaying an original portrait of an inspiring personality offers an innovative interactive experience to the art lover.

His various meetings with Masahiro Hara, father of the QR code, marked a decisive turning point in his career as an artist.

qargo was a recognized entrepreneur and investor in French-Tech before leaving the startup world to follow his artistic passion.

Pixel tower, Space Invaders, Tetris, Rubik’s cube, Excel, new technologies… The pixel, more than a source of inspiration, a reality that has accompanied him since his youngest age. Thus was born qargo, which is the connection of these elements.

“My art is a visual narrative, a sincere expression of this long-sheltered inner child . Each mosaic I create is a vibrant celebration of the values ​​that guide me, expressing through iconic personalities my most intimate beliefs: resilience, loyalty, respect, determination, perseverance, authenticity, audacity, humility and much more.

I do not believe in chance, but in the power of intention and creation. The QR code offers the ideal gateway to move from a real world (the physical work) to a virtual world and thus better initiate new, more digital generations. My journey as an entrepreneur and artist reflects this unwavering belief that we are the architects of our own destinies but also the essential relays for future generations.
