Xavier Casalta is a French artist internationally recognized for his masterful stippling technique. Using only black ink, he meticulously creates his drawings through millions of tiny dots applied over thousands of hours, resulting in artworks of exceptional depth and intricacy.
Each artwork now requires three to four years to complete, resulting in an exceptionally limited body of work and making every new release a rare event for collectors.
His works are held in leading private and institutional collections, including the Christian Dior Collection and Parkview Hong Kong.
