This is probably my favorite character in the Runeterra Echoes series.
I grew up surrounded by Harlequins. My mother, a graduate of the Beaux-Arts in Paris, painted them often.

So I decided to create my own: a sci-fi Harlequin, reimagined through my palette, my influences, and a touch of ambiguity.
He wears the classic patchwork costume, but everything else is from another dimension:

• A deep black figure, both surprised and tormented


• Dreadlocks, a blue transparent cube merging with his green cubed thigh


• Sneakers with style, a white chest strap, and a titanium white war cross painted on his face.

I wanted to mix tension and color, light and structure, memory and myth.

This Harlequin doesn’t perform, he just exists. In full contrast.
