Mr Cenz has been scribbling on all surfaces since 1984 when he discovered hip-hop culture and graffiti. He quickly became obsessed with this new art form and after some problems with the law, he decided to find legal ways to express his talent. Since his first mural commission at the age of 11 he has continued to progress and experiment with his art at University. This subsequently led to a career as a professional graffiti artist with several solo exhibitions and commissions for murals at international level. His work can now be admired all over the world, in streets, buildings and art galleries.

His latest work focuses on female faces, which he deforms in a style all his own. He works from portraits to create strong interpretations of women, both abstract and figurative, in mysterious compositions. These futuristic and cosmic creations present complex and flowing shapes, letters and lines, carefully designed for perfect aesthetics. Their ethereal, sometimes translucent appearance transports the viewer into a new universe. MR CENZ likes to keep his work open to free interpretation.
His unique style has sometimes been described as "A LANDSCAPE OF FEELINGS", "A SURREALIST GRAFFITI" or "A PAINTING FOR THE SOUL".
