The Artist WALLEY BERLIN

WALLEY BERLIN
(Christophe Didillon; * 1971 in Aurich/Germany)

Christophe Didillon, born 1971 in Aurich (Germany), found his vocation to become an artist (painter) when he studied for one year in China. From 1997 to 2004, after high school examination and professional training, Didillon studied Sinology, Law and History at Philipps University Marburg and Tongji University Shanghai. He passed with distinction, and he did a photo journey with Trans-Siberian Railway from Beijing to Moscow.

In the year of 2004, he admitted to the PARADOX artist group, which does cultural exchange on a high level, working together with artists and official partners from China. Didillon had learned the Chinese language at his studies, and he used his knowledge for the artist group with translating texts and speaking.

The painter had exhibitions at the Parliament of Hessen / Germany and museums in China, beyond that at the internet gallery of German Foreign Ministry. He created paintings for Crown Princess Viktoria of Sweden and Michael Gorbachev.

Till the beginning of 2007, Didillon used an art scholarship and lived in the Flath Villa in the city of Bad Segeberg / Germany, where he began his art project, “Search Of A Mermaid”. Referring to this, Christophe dresses long and sleek hair of women with water and wetgel for giving it a “mermaid look”. He creates photos and paintings of the wet manes.

“Welchen Wert hat die Wuerde eines Menschen?” – How much is human dignity? This was the motto of his demonstration under the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin in February 2007. The artist asked and tried to appeal to the people for more respectfulness of others. After a few harmful experiences at his surroundings and his own life, Didillon made a pilgrimage on the “Camino de Santiago” from his home town to France. After a foot injury, he had to break his pilgrimage in France, after walking 660 kilometres.

Didillon disposed his collections of historical fire extinguishers and international vehicle registration plates (begun in his early childhood) to several museums in Germany.
He always tries out new artistic technologies, and he develops his own style. In spring 2011, he began to do encaustic pictures, ande he started his artistic activities as Berlin wall artist “WALLEY BERLIN”.
