An eclectic symphony of sounds, a palette of digital dreams, and a canvas stirred by the philosophical depths of existence — Stalys is an artist whose oeuvre is as variegated as the myriad experiences that define the human condition. Based in France, Stalys brings to the fore an impressive repertoire as a seasoned Staff Software Engineer, a composer with over five records, and now, a painter whose canvases are imbued with the essence of Cybernetic Expressionism.

Born at the dawn of the digital era, Stalys began their odyssey in the arts with the classical piano, letting the keystrokes narrate tales of silent reveries. The strings of the guitar soon joined this melody, followed by the limelight of the theatre stage, where Stalys breathed life into characters woven from the fabric of existential quandaries. The journey meandered through the experimental electronic and contemporary classical realms, where soundscapes became the canvas for Stalys' auditory sculptures.

The transition into the visual arts was a natural progression for Stalys, whose digital artworks and glitch pieces reflect a dance of order and entropy. December 2023 marked a pivotal turn, as Stalys delved into the tactile world of acrylics, collage, and mixed media, translating a lifelong fascination with lambda calculus and the abstractions of code into a visual lexicon that speaks of both freedom and constraint.

Each stroke, each color choice, and the very mediums Stalys employs are deliberate — a conversation with the viewer about autonomy within our cybernetic networks. Of their recent works — spanning 19 canvases rich with personal and philosophical narratives —, 9 are gifts to family, a testament to their belief in art's power to connect and convey beyond words.

As Stalys continues to explore the complexities of our interconnected world through their art, they challenge us to see beyond the canvas to the very algorithms that shape our perception. To own a piece by Stalys is to partake in a dialogue with the zeitgeist, a chance to ponder the intersections where art meets the digital dawn.
