Formally trained in Art History, Régis Estérez, also known as Monsieur Térez, has been building for over twenty years a singular, joyful and deeply accessible body of work. After several years travelling in Asia and Africa, he discovered that his true path was neither in theory nor in writing, but in the one gesture that brought him genuine happiness: making creatures.

Self-taught in practice but highly sensitive to the history of forms, he developed an atypical artistic language: bold colours, naïve volumes, humorous tenderness, and the use of modest or recycled materials (papier-mâché, cardboard, jute, plastic, wood, resin).

His universe, between comics, fabulous bestiaries and outsider art, speaks to anyone who has kept a childlike inner world. He describes himself as a PoP(ular) artist:

“I want to make joyful, optimistic works without pathos. They are meant for everyone.”

Far from a spectacular or elitist art form, his work has always been deeply connected to people:

• participatory installations

• large-scale public sculptures

• collaborative wall pieces

• urban interventions

• workshops with schools and communities

His sensitivity to childhood imagery is not naïve; it is a generous aesthetic philosophy that invites inclusion, humour and emotional openness.

In 2025–2026, Monsieur Térez opens a new artistic chapter with the creation of a humanimal bestiary, hybrid, funny and touching characters that form a contemporary collection of fables.
