About Me

BIOGRAPHY: Capto 11, was borned in 1977 in a town near Varese, at the moment he works and lives in Milan. In 1992, charmed by the art of the metropolitan graffiti of Milan City, later by the artistic works of the pioneer teacher of the Aerosol Art of New York, and by the 4 elements of the Hip-Hop culture (Writing, Breaking, Mcing, Djing) he started his career as writer, concentrating more than 10 years of his life on the obsessional study of Conch letters evolution and mushrooms sea style that compose his street name, Capto 11. In 1996 he made friends with other well known Italian artist, and founding the notorious artistic unit “F.T.N./K.N.F.”, that included writers, djs, mcs and musical producers such as Dj C.o.n.c.h. alias Capto 11, Zelebrity 133 (Zelo 133), Dj Bazik, Cool Emi, Ogus Babe, Dioniso, Phez, Dj Erno, Pellè, Dj Pio, Musta, and the affiliated members: Cora, Hoze, Dj Tayone and Paura. In some years they were known at international level for their several activities, taking part in various graffiti’s conventions, doing presence to several tv-programs and being published on sector’s magazines. After years spent in researching, studying and developing experiences in the street painting field, both in Italy and abroad (France, Spain and England), in 2000 he decided to evolve his creativity and artistic consciousness, concentrating almost totally on canvas painting field. His unconscious makes him paint principally in informal way.- Solitario - Notturno - Visionario - Grande intuito
