 Sèyo is one of the most famous 'taggers' in Biel and surrounding areas.

His works have been published in many magazines, press articles and in the 'Bieler Stadtführer'.
 Since a few years he lives from his art, decorating large walls of schools and other public buildings.

        

The artist Sèyo leads one into a universe of fantasy. In his works he combines 3-dimensional views with vain dream fantasy images, surrounded by floating letters, telling adventure stories and fairy tales.

He doesn't only use cans of spay paint, but also uses other techniques, which remain his secret.  

Also, his remarkable sculptures made out of used aerosol cans, which depict little creatures, show great esthetical beauty. 

Sèyo and Tarkin are friends of long standing and started their graffiti career at about the same time. They often organise their exhibits together.

The futuristic images from Tarkin are combining beautifully with the fantasy cartoon world from Sèyo.

Two renowned artists of high international standing.
