When Nivarna met a mushroom (2024) Painting by P*Nm

P*NM (anciennement connu sous le nom de Click Street Art) is a contemporary French artist, born in Paris in 1983, whose creative journey began with digital art and streetwear in the early 2000s when he founded his own clothing brand. Inspired by internationally renowned artists such as Invader, Jeff Aerosol, Miss.Tic, and Banksy, P*NM delved into the world of stencil art as a self-taught enthusiast, exploring various mixed techniques along the way.

Based in Paris, P*NM is particularly active in the historic Butte aux Cailles district, a well-known hub within the Parisian street art scene. His preferred medium is stencil, which he meticulously cuts by hand or with a laser, enabling him to intricately layer portraits of both illustrious and unknown figures in his signature style.

In P*NM's works, equal emphasis is placed on both the main subject and the background, with the latter often serving to enhance and complement the former, creating striking contrasts and adding depth to the overall composition. To achieve this, P*NM scours the city for unique materials such as flyers, original s, or metro maps, which he then combines, cuts, and manipulates to craft his stencil paintings.

Through his art, P*NM invites viewers to contemplate the intersection of urban landscapes, human identity, and artistic expression, challenging perceptions and inviting dialogue. With each piece, P*NM captures the essence of his surroundings while infusing it with his own unique perspective, leaving an indelible mark on the ever-evolving tapestry of street art in Paris and beyond.
