About the artist
MATE artist I was born in a little town near Milan and I currently live in Berlin. Since 2008 I have been spray painting murals in Italy, in several cities in Europe Brasil balcans countries, USA. I graduated from the Brera Academy of Fine Arts, and definitely my studies’ path influenced the gradual transition from graffiti to street art, mainly to figurative realism. I prefer to define my work as a continuous work in progress, as so many media I like to experiment with on both murals and studio artworks. Above all, I like to deal with social issues. Through street art, all my artworks are accessible to everyone, I can talk to people, tell stories on the subjet I am painting. I have exhibited in several solo and group collections. Since 2010 I have been actively working in urban, private and institutional contexts but I also love to be a regular feature in graffiti and street art festivals all over the World.
