1 - Hopare, one of the most prolific contemporary artists of our time

At 31, Alexandre Monteiro, known as Hopare, is already a leading figure in French street art and one of the most prolific contemporary artists of our time. Initially a graffiti artist, Alex now has no limits in terms of the medium he uses, nor even the techniques he employs, as evidenced by his sculptures, giant murals, and oil paintings. Each project is a way for him to develop his own aesthetic vocabulary, made up of lines, interlacing colors, perspectives, sketches, and abstract geometries and curves. Thus, the artist has dedicated himself to creating bridges between eras, people, and cultures. The art he champions is that of evolution, change, and the eternal quest for knowledge.

At Charlie Paris, we admire his work and the style that emanates from each of his pieces. We are therefore very happy to have had the opportunity to collaborate with him. him on a watch thanks to the Love art gallery & Collect. Indeed, we decided to produce ultra-limited series of watches conceived and designed by contemporary artists with this Parisian gallery.

"For a century, the relationship between art and life has become central to creation. By allowing everyone to wear a true miniature work of art on their wrist all day long, this collaboration deepens this relationship even further and makes it very intimate." - Stéphane Corréard
