The artist offers some clues on his evolution via his bio: “Active since the early ’90s in the writing scene, searching new ways to push the limit of the classical graffiti to a high-level painting big murals with concept and organizing events to connect the best European artists. From 2001, his way (of painting starts) to evolve to geometrical and architectural forms, still working on the lettering with a mixture of urban landscapes.”
