Street art murals by Vinie @viniegraffiti

Painter, graffiti artist, artistic director Originally from Toulouse, Vinie draws and paints since childhood. But it is in high school that she started graffiti.  The lettering and the precise work on the letter that it imposes allow him little by little to master this new technique. The jams and other themed frescoes pushes her to diversify towards the creation of sets and characters.

A position of Artistic Director lead her to Paris in 2007. Upon arrival, she intuitively turns to a more personal, less realistic figurative work. She exposes on the walls of the capital her character. A female figure halfway between doll and pin-up that we recognize her hairstyle, made of tags, flops and various dedications. It's her hair that is changing, making Vinie's work a strong guideline.
