Youri is a self-taught visual artist; he had to face an extremely challenging childhood. It is in a context of chaos and with almost nothing (bits of cloth or rope) that he began to create.
The accumulation of debts in his family, the seizures and the hunger set the stage for what will become his main thematics: Repair & Linkage.
Youri sees his past as a strong legacy; his work remains in the vein of post-minimalism.
