Paschat - S. Kristol, Pop Art

Where urban soul meets emotional healing—Stéphane Kristol’s PASCHAT brings beauty, depth, and reflection into every space it inhabits

Stéphane Kristol, a French artist born in 1988, transforms urban energy into emotional resonance through his alter ego, PASCHAT—a tiger-like figure born from childhood imagination and shaped by the raw beauty of graffiti and poppy art. His work is a vibrant fusion of sculpture, digital painting, and street culture, designed not just to be seen, but felt.

Art as Therapy, Street as Canvas

Kristol’s journey began in the world of graffiti, where walls became vessels for emotion, rebellion, and healing. His connection to poppy art—a spontaneous, expressive form often misunderstood—reveals how creativity can soothe trauma, release tension, and reconnect us with our inner child. For Kristol, art is not decoration; it’s therapy in motion.

His sculptures, crafted in resin and painted with automotive finishes, are tactile and luminous—inviting viewers to engage with their emotions. His digital paintings, printed on aluminum, blend urban grit with dreamlike softness, creating a visual language that speaks to both vulnerability and strength.

PASCHAT: A Companion for Reflection

PASCHAT, Kristol’s signature character, embodies elegance, charisma, and emotional depth. In Equality, PASCHAT confronts a barrel of pollution—a metaphor for environmental damage and social imbalance. Through this figure, Kristol invites us to reflect on our own impact, our empathy, and our capacity to heal.

PASCHAT is more than a symbol—it’s a companion for those navigating inner landscapes. Its presence in Kristol’s work offers comfort, courage, and a reminder that beauty can emerge from chaos.

A Lifestyle of Conscious Creation

Kristol’s art has been exhibited across France, Belgium, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and Canada, but its heart remains in the streets and in the soul. His practice aligns with a lifestyle of conscious creation—where art, emotion, and activism meet. Whether you're an art lover, a seeker of healing, or simply someone drawn to beauty with meaning, Kristol’s work offers a space to breathe, feel, and reconnect.
