Jean-Marc Moro is a French artist specializing in sgraffito. Born in 1964, into a working-class family of Italian origin, he worked on construction sites very early on. In 1990, a serious accident led him to a true “crossing the mirror” during which he was spiritually reborn and discovered his artistic vocation. At the École d'Avignon, he trained in decorative arts. Exploring the roots of Christianity and oriental religions, he participates in major creation or restoration projects in France and the United States (Lutetia hotel, Châtelet theater, Vernantes castle, Lake Tahoe chalet). Faithful to the tradition of craftsmanship, inseparable according to him from his spiritual quest, he hopes to become a "warrior of light" by paying homage to the material he works with his favorite technique, sgraffito.
