As soon as graffiti is no longer considered street hooliganism, and their authors are persecuted and punished to the fullest extent of the law, creative artists more and more willingly emerge from the gloom to create no longer on the backyards and facades of abandoned buildings, but directly in the city center. And here is the Italian artist known as Pixel pancho, they arrange both factory walls and concrete fences … It is there that you can most often see his work, if you explore the length and breadth of his hometown of Turin. The 28-year-old boy owes his fame and popularity, first of all, to his grandfather. It was he who at one time drew the attention of his parents to the fact that the boy has talent, and most importantly, an interest in painting. Thanks to his grandfather, Pixel Pancho studied at the best art schools in Turin and Valencia, honing and multiplying the innate talent of the artist. But by the will of fate, canvas and oil were not so attractive for the young man, so spray cans became his favorite tools.
Raised in the best traditions of classical art education, Pixel Pancho considers himself an art bully, who, however, does the city not harm, but benefit. Yes, one has only to glance at his graffiti to be convinced of this: they adorn the gray walls, turning them into works of art. Animals, people, abstract figures and forms, but most often robots - this is what the artist depicts on the walls of different buildings in different cities.
In less than 28 years, Pixel Pancho has traveled half the world: the young artist's magnificent graffiti has been seen in major cities in both Europe and Asia. But more recently, he returned to his native Turin, where he opened a painting school, and now he is engaged not only in his own creative career, but also teaches a new generation of artists to draw.
