Maxime Taccardi is an artist who is most notable for his unusual method – creating his pieces using his own blood. His thesis focusing on the monstrosity and what is considered abnormal by society. He explains that his work is not created for shock value: “It is not intended to shock people like some would think but is merely a process. The final result is as important as the way to do it, I see art as some sort of a ritual, a chat between spirits and my mortal flesh. I do recall on what philosopher Plato said about art which is the manifestation of spirits through artist bodies.”
