Coucher de soleil
2022
Raphaël Dairon

His artistic journey led him to settle in Montreal, a city close to his heart, where he discovered the world of urban art. He began by getting involved with the Fresh Paint gallery, while also participating multiple times in the Under Pressure street art festival.

At the same time, as Art Director for the nonprofit organization Fusion Jeunesse, he created various illustrations for events such as the Montreal International Jazz Festival and the Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM).

Since the beginning of 2022, he has devoted himself fully to illustration, mural art, and painting.

Passionate about illustration since childhood, his graphic style draws inspiration from all forms of comics—from Japanese manga to American comic books, to graphic novels. This world has fueled his creativity and became a true means of escape, allowing him to invent his own stories.

His artistic approach is deeply influenced by the concepts of storytelling and world-building. He aims to transport the viewer into a rich and playful visual universe, where everyone can imagine the stories and worlds hidden behind the work.

Artwork description

At its zenith around a lighthouse, setting behind mountains, or fading away to reveal a mysterious castle in the night—the viewer is invited to follow the progression of a sunset.
The mural reveals a mysterious and dreamlike world, where subtle signs of life appear—whether it’s footprints in the sand or a light turned on in a house.
The panel-like composition introduces a narrative inspired by comic books. Like windows, these frames open onto their own unique worlds.
