Baptiste Hersoc is a contemporary artist from France, known for his unique and thought-provoking style. Born in 1984 in Picardy, France, Hersoc spent his childhood in the woods and fields of his ancestors' village. He moved to Paris in 2003 to study graphic arts, with a focus on drawing and illustration at ESAG Penninghen. He completed his training in 2007 with the production of the graphic novel "Apartment Three Sans One" in collaboration with the writer Lucia Jalba, which deals with inner visions.

Hersoc continued to collaborate with Jalba on the fiction "Soliloques en Image" from 2008 to 2009. In 2010, he started teaching drawing, nude sketching, illustration, and artistic techniques in various Parisian high schools. He also focused on engraving and illustration and published the "Tales and legends of Niger" and "Tales and legends of Lapland" in 2013 and 2014.

In 2014, Hersoc decided to return to his native village and began exhibiting in various galleries. He describes his art as a reflection of human experience, intended to provoke an emotional response and establish a connection between the art and the audience. He often explores the human psyche and its relationship with the world through symbolism and metaphor, and uses a variety of traditional and digital techniques, such as oil painting, engraving, fresco, silkscreen and digital technology, to create a wide range of visual elements and textures in his works.
