Born in 1960 in Albertville in Savoie, Rémy Matto grew up in a magical environment alongside his father, the renowned painter Rémy Martinetto. Although he was not very interested in studies, he quickly developed a talent for painting and devoted himself to the art from a young age. From 1980 he exhibited in his studio and eventually took over the Martinetto art gallery, located in the medieval town of Conflans, overlooking Albertville.
As a self-taught artist, Rémy Matto has explored different artistic styles and mastered the use of various tools such as spray cans, airbrush, computer drawing and acrylic knife painting. He is best known for his abstract and Fantasy Art works, which have earned him numerous awards and distinctions. Winner of several group exhibitions, he was nominated for the silver medal at the ArtMajeur Awards in 2012. His paintings are now sold throughout the world.
Over the years, Rémy Matto has worked on numerous artistic projects, including covers of fanzines or science fiction novels, CD jackets, posters, the creation of characters for screen printing, wall decorations, panels advertising, animated video clips, as well as the graphic illustration of the video for the opera-ballet "Et in terra pax" for the Théâtre de la Ville Olympique d'Albertville in 1992.
