Baptiste Tavernier

Baptiste Tavernier is a Tokyo-based, Franco-Spanish art hedonist, pursuing personal transformation through total sensory immersion.

_ His artistic trajectory began in childhood through music. He studied saxophone, percussions, and jazz for many years before earning a Bachelor then a Master degree in musicology, where he focused on experimental music and composition. He later reduced his musical activities after severe and permanent tinnitus suddenly altered his auditory perception.

_ Living in Japan since 2006, he has studied many aspects of traditional Japanese culture. He holds high ranks in several weapon-based martial arts, and has spent years studying Ikebana (flower arrangement) and Japanese heraldry.

_ As a composer and artist, he identifies as a creative technologist working at the intersection of digital sculpture, 3D printing, and multi-sensorial installations.

_ He defines himself as an art hedonist, arguing for a return to deep, sensory immersion in intimate, small-scale settings: a deliberate rejection of the sterile and bland displays of the "art supermarkets" that international art fairs have become. His ultimate passion is transporting audiences into uncharted territories, using art's profound sensory experiences to inspire a more expansive and creative life.
