“Mon Fuji, Mon Amour”

2018. Unveiling “Mon Fuji, Mon Amour”, Vahram’s first woodblock print. Made in Japan by Adachi Hanga, based on his drawing of Mount Fuji. Long process for a unique result. The idea behind his take on ukiyo-e (‘image of a floating world’) is the obsession of Japanese and tourists alike for this mountain. Hokusai & his pals can’t deny : Fujisan is without question the star of this fabulous country, and very much decides when to show up. By chance he could get a glimpse on various occasions from Tokyo or in the Shinkansen on his way to Kyoto, usually after a storm or very early in the morning. Each time Vahram’s phone (and so many others!) were ready to shoot the diva mountain.

"About Time" / A visual memoir around the clock

"Take it, make it, lose it, have it, kill it, spend it, save it, forget it, break it, set it, repeat it, keep it. Time flies like never before, yet time crawls. This may be your first time, your last or you may be stuck in your routine. How we experience time shapes our relationships, memories, hopes and dreams. And only with time can possibility become reality.”

Vahram Muratyan is a French graphic artist, creative director and author of visual books.

In 2010, during a long stay in New York, Vahram launched his first blog, Paris versus New York, a tally of two cities. More than five millions visits later online, Vahram shows this series at colette and The Standard, the book Paris versus New York becomes an international best-seller, (translated and launched in the US, France, Brazil, Italy, Germany, South Korea and Japan) while the prints and postcards are shipped worldwide. After many years developing his visual op-peds in M le magazine du Monde, Vahram works with magazines, collaborates with Prada, Dior and Longchamp.

His second book, “About Time” a visual memoir around the clock, is a celebration of how we spend our fast & curious lives.

Always keen to new concepts and ideas, ready to spice up an elegant take on Parisian culture with a touch of irony and affectionate eccentricity, the artist divides his time between his studio in Paris, a plane to New York or a connected tearoom in Tokyo, while preparing for his next adventures in print and film.
