Valentin Sécher developed his artistic ambitions through his father, who worked in advertising and decoration. He enrolled at the Pivaut art school in Nantes in 2006, where he further developed his skills in illustration. After his graduation in 2009, he was asked by Jean-Luc Istin to create a series for Soleil's Space Opera imprint with Stéphane Louis. The first book of the serial 'Khaal, Chroniques d'un empereur galactique' was published in 2011.
