Blu is an Italian, internationally acclaimed street artist who has built a strong reputation through very large murals he has created around the world. From Berlin to Rome and Athens to Rio de Janeiro, his content is most often dedicated to passing social or political messages that concern either local or international important issues. His simplicity but still very imaginative approach has offered his great success. He is also known for his fascinating video productions known as MUTO which are timelapses of painting in a cartoon like manner. His walls are all over the world and he is surely one of the most genuine representations of global street art today leaving behind him a era of his own.

The list of the places where Blu has left his trace is as long as his collection of sketchbooks which contain sketches, thoughts or simply visual notes. Often these drawings function as a script for his improvisations on walls.

Blu is the pseudonym of an Italian artist who conceals his real identity. He was born in Senigallia. He lives in Bologna and has been active in street art since 1999.
