Mehdi Pinson, better known under the pseudonym DVNO, is a protean artist who’s been multiplying projects since the middle of the 90s.

More than a simple "mercenary of cool" he is the stable link of a French Touch movement in perpetual mutation. He remains the one who is sought after to take up a creative challenge thanks to his vision and his contagious energy.

A Discrete art director, illustrator and director, he enjoys blurring the lines without forgetting to sign some musical creations between luxury and counterculture, for Nike, Lanvin, Issey Miyake, Citroën, Converse, Sony, PSG...
