WHO
Born in 1979, Francesco Camillo Giorgino aka Millo is an Italian artist working on large scale black and white murals with highlights in bright colors. His style is very recognizable. As he painted in many countries (Italy, Canada, US, Russia, China, Australia, Thailand, Argentina, Chile, Morocco, Spain...), if you have photos of his works, don't hesitate to share them in the comments.
"“I started just doing stuff for myself, I didn’t have it in my mind that I’d be doing it as a job, I just painted because I liked to paint." - Millo from 2013 interview source
In Montreal, in 2018, he painted this mural, Art-Libre with many references to Quebec with the role that art and culture play in the lives of Montrealers. The food truck becomes Art truck as Street Art feeds the minds of people !
