Hello! My name is Elyas! I'm a Lebanese/white Queer artist based in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal). My work focuses mostly on queerness and exploring queer identities through the lens of science. I LOVE digital art, but I'm always keen on exploring other forms of art (collage, clay, metal work).

​At first, I created Yas Petit Poulet as a handle for my Instagram, but then it became so much more. It became a pen name for my art career, the Queer Chemistry project, my writing,... 

As a gender non-conforming person of color living with both invisible disability and chronic pain, I care about inclusivity, accessibility, and anti-capitalism. These are the core values of my work. Yas Petit Poulet is my full-time occupation, as it allows me to allocate enough time to take care of my health.
