INVADER (French)
Born in 1969
« Well, When I started my "Invasions," the word "street art" did not even exist yet! Now "Street Art" is a Pivotal moment »
« I always try to use new media for the gallery, but I realize that pixels and mosaics are mainly my signature. »
« As always, I brought mosaic artworks along with me just in case I found a good location to display one of them along the way. »
