Born in 1981, in a modest background, Valco began drawing characters from the famous Asterix comics around the age of 10, of which he has a few copies. At the age of 14 he began to tag bus shelters at Posca with a childhood friend and learned about lettering. A few years later, fond of urban places, he hung out in the disused hangars around Béziers station, between the cheap beer cans and empty aerosols to admire the graffiti artists at the expense of the high school benches.
However, it is the plates that will be his first artistic support, a creative chef, he defines the content as important as the form.
Artistically self-taught, from the generation of the 80s, he uses a lot of everything which refers to those years, in a colorful superposition where different messages can emerge and everyone can find their own in order to give a different meaning to each painting. Generally speaking, he likes everything that is significant at a given moment on the time scale, which has created a craze, references... Coming from a working class background, he likes to represent fictional characters themselves popularized by the small screen. Since a young age he has been influenced by the street and HIP HOP culture, graffiti, Vandal, lettering... and rap artists with lyrics. His expression remains 'streetly'. His stage name is just an anagram of his last name.
