  • Street artists
  • Spanish artist Aryz was born in 1988 in Palo Alto, USA. Octavi Serra Arrizabalaga, his real name, was only three years old when his parents moved to Barcelona and then to Cardedeu, Catalonia, where he still lives today.

    It was here that the artist discovered a stimulating art scene and graffiti, which he experimented with at an early age. Now a painter and illustrator, Mr. Aryz defines himself more as a “painter who uses the street as a medium” than as a street artist per se.

    A specialist in monumental art, Aryz takes over the world with his large, pastel-colored artistic figures, whose attitudes are sometimes poetic, sometimes introspective. In any case, they leave no one indifferent. The painter is known for subtly blending different painting techniques and styles: his art brings together vibrant colors and imaginary atmospheres evoking those of science fiction and playing between surrealism and Pop Art.

    We are pleased to present a shortlist of Aryz's works.

  • Octavi Arrizabalaga aka Aryz was born in 1988 in Palo Alto (California); at a early age his parents moved to Cardedeu (Spain), where he currently lives and works. Like many artists of his generation, Arrizabalaga started painting graffiti in the surroundings of Barcelona at the early 2000’s where he began to be known as Aryz. Around 2007 he started painting with telescopic sticks and house-paint on different surfaces from abandoned factories in the outskirts of Barcelona. Japan, France, United Kingdom, Finland, Denmark, Poland, China, Madagascar, United States are some of the countries where he has left his trace during the last decade. More recently, he has begun to work more within the studio, limiting the number of murals that he performs annually. The studio allows him to calmly cook-up concepts that the immediacy of the wall doesn’t. Talking about himself makes him feel uncomfortable and this is surely one of the reasons why he prefers that his work speak for him.
