HUNTO
Hunto, a vibrant force in the London art scene, hails from the picturesque city of Brindisi in Italy. His artistic journey began with an encounter with a book on Picasso, igniting a passion that would shape his creative life. From an early age, he found his voice in graffiti, mastering the art of quick, ephemeral creations. This instinctive approach allowed him to capture the gritty essence of street art, a skill he honed in the dynamic streets of East London, specifically Shoreditch—a true mecca for creativity and self-expression.

For years, Hunto has transformed the walls of this vibrant neighbourhood into canvases of love, hope, and connection. Hunto’s work is a pulsating blend of colour, evoking feelings within his bold stokes. His signature catchphrase, “Hunto says,” embodies his mission to promote love in all its forms. Each piece he creates is a testament to the power of art as a unifying force, embracing the diversity of life in a colourful embrace. As he continues to evolve and create, Hunto remains an active participant in the street art movement, infusing his surroundings with the same energy and emotion that inspired him from the outset.
