Chifumi is an internationally renowned muralist from Alsace, France. He is best known for his monumental murals of giant hands, a unique artistic concept inspired
by symbolic gestures from traditional Khmer dances. This distinctive artistic signature has established Chifumi as a key figure in street art in Cambodia and across the globe.
After completing his art studies, he moved to Cambodia, a country whose cultural and mythological heritage profoundly influences his work. This new cultural setting became the driving force behind his artistic exploration and the main inspiration for his murals. His ability to merge mythological narratives, ethnic patterns, and symbolic hand gestures gives his work a unique visual power.
Over the years, Chifumi has created impactful murals in iconic locations such as Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Mumbai (India), Paris (France), Copenhagen (Denmark), and Kathmandu (Nepal). Each mural is designed to interact with the public space, provoke reflection, and leave a lasting impression.
In addition to his murals, Chifumi is the co-founder of the Cambodia Urban Art Festival, the country's premier street art event. Through this role, he actively promotes local artistic creation and provides visibility to emerging Cambodian artists.
His artistic commitment goes beyond the creation of visual works. Through augmented reality (AR), he brings his murals to life, offering viewers an immersive and innovative experience. This blend of tradition, modernity, and technology makes Chifumi an artist who is both engaged and forward-thinking, deeply connected to his time and place.
