MOSTRANDO ILEGAL

I’m Thierry Oliver, AKA Mostrando Ilegal; I’m a Swiss-Mexican lettering and graffiti artist based in Lucerne, Switzerland. With a name that translates to “Showcasing the illegal,” Mostrando Ilegal aims to demonstrate that graffiti and street art can transcend their origins and belong in the world of fine art.

His journey as an artist began at a young age, starting with drawing and calligraphy lessons in school. By the age of 14, he began painting graffiti on the streets, and at 24, he started exploring other types of lettering. Throughout his artistic development, he has remained fascinated by traditional calligraphy and its rich history.

Mostrando Ilegal’s unique style blends the raw energy and spirit of illegal graffiti with the elegance and precision of traditional calligraphy. He strives to bring the essence of graffiti into the home, proving that it can be both elegant and wild.

His art is a testament to the transformative power of graffiti, taking it from the streets and presenting it in a way that captivates and inspires viewers. Through his work, Mostrando Ilegal introduces people to graffiti from a fresh perspective, encouraging them to see it not just as a form of rebellion, but as a dynamic and sophisticated art form.

Teamwork makes the dream work.
