​

Between their beating thighs the serpent bites,

A throbbing moan,

A whispered sigh.

Their untamed souls dance through the garden gates.

 

Didé LeComte, driven by a purpose much larger than himself, believes art to be an unstoppable manifestation of the divine. With a diverse international background having moved 9 different times within 6 different countries by the time he came of age, there was one constant: a lifelong immersion in the world of art and photography.  Didé is a multidisciplinary visionary artist who’s never been restricted by any one medium, he crafts ethereal realms through still and motion imagery, mural, body painting, sculpture, set design and styling.

 

His artistic vision draws inspiration from works of fiction such as "The Master and Margarita" and "The Story of O," as well as films like "The Holy Mountain" and "The Color of Pomegranates." Additionally, he finds inspiration in the works of fine artists, photographers, and musicians alike including works by  Steven Arnold, David Lynch, Hilma af Klint, Nobuyoshi Araki and Alice Coltrane.

As a devotee of the esoteric, Didé often explores themes rooted in the Thoth tarot, Kaballah and ancient cultures and spiritual traditions from Europe, Central Asia and beyond. He himself is a devotee of the Mesopotamian goddess Inanna or Ishtar, associated with sexual love, fertility, and warfare. Drawing from this spiritual connection he collaborates primarily with sex workers as well as close friends, and models from all backgrounds. His ultimate aim is to create a vision of a new Eden—a Garden of Hedon—where both earthly and celestial pleasures reign supreme.
