The KRAH – Greek street artist

The KRAH was born in the UK and raised in Athens.
He is a self taught artist that started drawing from a very young age.

In his teens he started painting in the streets of Athens. Doing his first murals with spray paint in 1997, he quickly became one of the most noted Greek street-Artists, not only in Greece, but internationally through his tours around Europe and Asian countries such as Japan and Thailand.

He started his working career doing murals, before moving on to illustrating magazines and books, and then working for advertising agencies. Later he moved on to working for fashion companies. It remains clear that his passion for street art underpinned all of his work and led him into creating work for galleries.

 Now he lives in East London and works as a freelance artist/illustrator. 

The Krah's work is in a range of private collections and he creates art shows in London and worldwide, including: Brooklynite in New York, ATM Gallery in Berlin, Art Basel at Miami Beach, in both of the Mutate Britain shows, Black rat Press, the Pure Evil Gallery and Art-Republic in London, Whinos Gallery Washington and Art Athina art fair in Athens. Additionally he has been one of the artist of Banksy´s Cans Festival in London and his work has been featured in a new book published by the V&A Museum called: Street Art Contemporary prints.
