The three periods of human existence, the three founding deities, the three primordial energies. Three, a number steeped in mystery, represents above all the union of three friends who together form 3ttman (pronounced "trois têtes man"), the pseudonym of Louis Lambert.

Originally from Lille, where he was born in 1978, it was in this city that his taste for artistic expression and his surrounding environment awakened, making the streets his first studio. It was under leaden skies that the three heads emerged, vibrant with vitality and enthusiasm.

His creative quest and tireless search for light guide his personal and professional evolution. His initial training in graphic design is enriched by self-taught learning and constant evolution.

An inaugural stay in Spain sowed a fertile idea in his mind: the sun, a source of life and inspiration, became his primary creative engine. His move to Madrid led him to the Noviciado 9 studio, a place buzzing with activity where he dedicated himself to the exploration and manipulation of various materials as part of public art projects.

At the heart of his experiments with cement, canvas, collage, plastic, mosaic, ceramic, felt, and many others, his artistic vocabulary and visual narratives took shape and flourished.

This unique language allows him to create murals, organize exhibitions, and lead artistic projects all over the globe, integrating the lessons learned from each location into his creations and his artistic vision.

Today, near the powerful energy of the Teide volcano, 3ttman is firmly anchored in the ground, drawing the very essence of his inspiration from the earth. It is in this setting that his universe continues to expand without bounds, supported by three pillars: creation, experimentation, and pleasure, the drivers of all his work.

His work represents a tribal iconographic journey, marked by symbols and contemporary aspects of urban culture, where the experience of art in public space and studio work mingle.

His works, charged with vibrant colors, evoke a feeling of inner warmth in the viewer, inviting them to join the ritual dance alongside the man with three faces.

Like a huge surge, we navigate on the waves of an artistic universe rich in elements, symbols, and stories, anchored in the terrestrial world but deeply linked to the contemporary perception of our existence.

Louis collaborated for the first time with LE CARTEL in 2024 as part of the collective textile exhibition “Paris est une fête”.
