Born in a monochromatic world, Fake uses his artistic inclination to force smiles through the use of irony and color. He started using stencils when he randomly stumbled upon their use on the streets of Amsterdam. The self-taught artist is extremely meticulous and his art is defined by his ability to tell stories through simple images.
When asked about his inspiration he says: “It might be a relationship ending in a bad way or the toys I played with when I was a little boy.” This explains why Fake constantly uses kids in his works. He uses his childish whimsical memories and portrays them through the eyes of an adult.
