Alessio-B, a contemporary Italian stencil artist, hails from the vibrant city of Padua, Italy, where he brings to life colorful and joyful messages on the streets. Born and raised in Padua, Alessio's journey into the world of art began during his college years in Venice, where he was studying architecture. It was there that he was introduced to the works of renowned stencil artists such as Blek Le Rat and Banksy, which sparked his interest in graffiti writing.
Quickly captivated by the art form, Alessio began experimenting with his own designs and techniques, eventually developing his unique style. While he drew inspiration from the giants of the stencil scene, Alessio infused his work with a distinct Italian flair, incorporating references to Italian culture and pop culture icons, from the Mona Lisa to Marco Pantani.
What sets Alessio-B apart is his unwavering commitment to spreading messages of peace, love, and positivity through his art. Rejecting formalism, he embraces a refreshingly anti-formalist approach to street art, a perspective undoubtedly influenced by his roots as a self-taught graffiti artist.

Notably, he recently participated in the prestigious Biennale of Venice - Back2Back event dedicated to street art, further solidifying his status as a rising star in the contemporary art scene.
