Falco

Between the ages of 15 to 18 he started to spread his nick, FALCO, through custom stickers or t-shirts and ended up studying art history. Daily confronted to analyze powerful, conceptual and meaningful artworks, he quickly feels the need to create and share his work otherwise than through a screen. In 2019, driven by this need, he came to cut out his first stencil— a tool that initially served as a solution to materialize his illustrations. It is thus that he painted his first wall ignoring that what he was doing was in fact “street art“.

Later on, with the goal of becoming a graphic designer, he enters a fine art school that he left three weeks later. He understood he could not deal with the fact of having someone holding the top of his pen and express himself with filters. Taking the path of the artist’s life has been his entry ticket to liberty.

Five years later, painting in the street evolved into a means of providing contextualization to his works. It became the final outcome of the idea, ensuring coherence between what he wishes to express, the location, and the moment in which he chose to share it.

Falco left his mark on walls visible in different cities, notably in Paris, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Hamburg, Lisbon, Prague, Grenoble, Lyon …
