Shem

Switzerland  • 1976

Presentation

Street-artist born in 1976 in Lima, Peru. He began drawing at the age of 3 and graduated in art at the age of 10 from the George Washington School in Lima. For political reasons, his whole family moved to Lausanne in 1989. He then embarked on graffiti after having taken a visual slap during numerous train trips in our country.

A few encounters on the local scene allowed him to take his first steps as a graffiti artist. He immediately dedicated himself to painting trains, subways and stations illegally. For several years, Shem has been working on canvas. Experienced artist, he seeks to develop his know-how through new techniques such as superposition and transparency.

He also multiplies the tools and uses acrylic, watercolor, oil and pastel to obtain the desired colors and textures. He collaborates with other artists to bring graffiti back where it is not expected, becoming a complete artist, creator, innovator and recognized by art critics.
