Biography

Espira was born in 1974 in England.

Brought up in very strict family of the Mormon Church, in the British countryside, he was educated to become a faith missionary, from a very early age.

But he gradually turned his back to religion in order to become a self-taught artist and settled in London in the early 1990's.

His work is considered as an attack against contemporay culture with wild black comedy.
