Blu first became known in 1999 after his clandestine graffiti in the historical center and suburbs of Bologna changed the skyline of Italy. His murals are directly influenced by the environment each is set in. Every wall inspires a shape, a concept and a message. His work mixes surrealism, humor and social commentaries. Check it out for yourself.
If you like his work watch his short film, an ambiguous animation painted in Buenos Aires and in Baden
