Seth, also known as Julien Malland, is a contemporary French street artist renowned for his vibrant murals and distinctive visual language. Born in Paris in 1972, Seth began exploring graffiti in the 1990s, quickly making a name for himself on the walls of his native city. He later graduated from École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs, grounding his self-taught artistry in formal academic training.

Seth’s work is characterized by the recurring motif of faceless children, often depicted with their backs turned to the viewer, evoking themes of innocence, curiosity, and universality. He draws inspiration from his extensive travels, incorporating local culture, folklore, and color palettes into site-specific pieces in places like China, India, Mexico, and South Africa. Seth is also known for co-authoring books and producing documentaries that delve into street art’s place within different societies.

His murals, rich in narrative and symbolism, have transformed public spaces in cities around the globe, earning him international acclaim as a poetic storyteller and a sensitive chronicler of childhood and cultural identity.
