Jose Sabate

Pez (1976, Barcelona) started graffiti painting in the outskirts of his hometown, back in 1999. He helped transform tagging into the bold characters and vibrant visuals we now call street art. Pez’s alter ego is an always smiling fish, which says a lot about his positive character and a lust to spread happiness everywhere. Swapping a career in software for the streets, he found freedom, adrenaline, and endless creativity in the urban landscape. His work has been featured in major documentaries like Exit Through the Gift Shop and countless books and magazines on graffiti culture. Beyond the walls, Pez has collaborated with global brands including Adidas, Toyota, and Reebok, making his playful, energetic style recognizable worldwide.
