Italian twins, Nicolo and Stefano, arrived in the small Leicestershire town of Lutterworth 15 years ago and, after getting used to the cold and rain, they soon discovered nearby Leicester’s increasingly vibrant graff scene and the central hub of Graff HQ. 

2017 saw the commencement of "Bring the Paint" - the now award winning, International Street Art festival which has showcased a great number of international artists along with a plethora of local artists, all reinventing the visual landscape of Leicester. 

The twins have been actively involved in both assisting in the event organisation and creating their own artworks at the events. 

Painting under the aliases “Trion” and “Lord” they have become immersed in the world of graffiti art and turned their passion into a devoted lifestyle by also launching a commission-based mural and domestic artwork business.

This piece - on Blake Walk - was created at the May 2024 Bring the Paint event on the side of the old Matalan building which is now home to multiple great artworks.  It is worthwhile ensuring that you see these artworks soon as the site, closed since 2023, is due to be demolished and turned into 2 blocks of flats in the near future. Others on this building also created at BTP 2024: Voyder, Peachzz, Netone, Hefs, Catch, Fanakapan, Rond, Ample and others.
