Biography / ALIAS

Based in Berlin, Alias is German street artist best know and exclusively working with stencil. For his stencil artwork he ‘abuses’ the urban space around him with forms of paste-ups, cut outs or by directly spraying against walls signed by his moniker.

Being considered as one of the top 10 Street Artists in Berlin, came as a result of his long presence and influence on the Berlin streets between 2004 and 2008. This was the period when Berlin Street Art scene was at its biggest hype. The themes he explores have always something to do with the global social and political issues to personal and themes that explore oneself. Alias’ outstanding stencils show humans and their emotions without putting a face on them. When the message is not clear he strives to provoke thinking about it. He puts his art behind bars, fences, and corners in order to give them a new perspective. He fights for the underprivileged people who are not seen nor heard, thus without even trying he made it fast from the streets to the galleries.
