John Mejia




The official poster for the 29th edition of Les Voiles d'Antibes was created by the artist John Mejia.




Colombian from Cali born in 1976, John Mejia arrived in France during the 1998 Football World Cup. He has always drawn and painted but it was following the tragedy of the Nice attacks that he decided to devote himself exclusively to his artistic work, after a watercolor that he spontaneously executed on the evening of the tragedy "Pray for Nice" went around the world.

World artist John has his work regularly presented in the United States and Europe and has notably executed numerous commissions for public figures as well as for communities.


He is very influenced by classical and modern painting (Velasquez, Botero, Freud, among others, but his pictorial exploration and expression are eminently contem-porary, leaving much room for the dazzling and colorful spontaneity that animates his Latin American soul, mark of the sensitive liveliness of his always curious mind. It is for many years here on the Côte d'Azur that he has continued his pictorial quest.
