Ador is a young French graffiti artist, born in Nantes. He studied arts and grew up in the northwest of France. As a teenager, he started tagging and drawing, together with other graffiti writers.

Street Art by Ador

His works represent his own universe, full of imaginary humanoid characters, usually with large mouths and long noses. The goal of his artwork is to tell stories and ask questions. The other graffiti artists, comic books, current events and his surrounding are his source of inspiration.
He collaborated with Semor, with whom he visited Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco. During their visit to the United States, they painted murals and exhibited their work at pop-up shows, hosted by Vertical Gallery and Rocha Art Gallery.
