About the artist:
Apset, born in Thessaloniki in 1984, is a central figure in street art, whose work has left a mark on the urban scene in Greece and beyond. Involved in graffiti culture since 1998, he founded the group Agb-2g with friends in the heart of Thessaloniki. His art stands out for striking portraits, a unique use of color, and an innovative graphic approach. His name, an anagram of his first name Stelios (Ste-Set), reflects his conceptual process.
After studies in graphic design in Thessaloniki and an internship in Warsaw, he trained in several artistic disciplines, from sculpture to video, including engraving and drawing. A graduate of the School of Fine Arts at Aristotle University, Apset has collaborated with Pacific Decor for the design of amusement parks in Greece and has participated in major festivals such as the Thessaloniki Street Art Festival and Boarding Pass in Chalkidiki.
Over the years, he has evolved his practice, moving away from tags to focus on realistic figures and 3D portraits, his true signature. He draws inspiration from his daily life, the city of Thessaloniki, graphic art, and even fashion. His works, vibrant and powerful, question society, culture, and the human condition, while offering a striking aesthetic vision.
