Born in Padua, Alessio-B is an
Italian contemporary stencil artist known for colorful and joyful, yet powerful
messages of optimism. He started his career working in graffiti before
discovering stencil. Though he’s inspired by greats such as Banksy and Blek Le
Rat, Alessio-B has managed to develop a distinct style, referencing Italian
culture and pop culture (ranging from the Mona Lisa to Marco Pantani), as well
as subjects of positivity, love, and peace.
