STeW (1978) - Bird Mashup

Work created for my solo exhibition "chromologie"

STeW born in 1978 - Street Art & Stencil
Based in Ivry-sur-Seine, STeW has left his mark on walls around the world for nearly 30 years. He entered graffiti in 1996, discovered stencil in 2006 and developed a unique technique: using his stencils as stamps.
This distinctive approach allows him to create majestic birds drawn in white, set off by backgrounds in vibrant colors inspired by Asian prints.
Masterpiece: The Blue Heron, a monumental mural 53 meters high in the 13th arrondissement of Paris (Place de Vénétie), recognized as one of the tallest painted façades in Europe. Created in 2013 with the Itinerrance gallery, this work required 3 months of work and over a hundred stencils.
Book: In 2025, STeW publishes "À Vol d'Oiseau", a 300-page volume tracing 10 years of street work around the world—from the Paris suburbs to international urban corners.
The street remains his favorite playground: "That's where I cut my teeth, where encounters are made, where we offer people a little happiness..." A silent revolution, stencil after stencil.
Notable projects: Tour Paris 13, Djerbahood (Tunisia), exhibitions in Moscow, Lisbon, Vancouver, London...
