WHO
Born in 1979, Francesco Camillo Giorgino aka Millo is an Italian artist working on large scale black and white murals with highlights in bright colors. His style is very recognizable. As he painted in many countries (Italy, Canada, US, Russia, China, Australia, Thailand, Argentina, Chile, Morocco, Spain...), if you have photos of his works, don't hesitate to share them in the comments.
"“I started just doing stuff for myself, I didn’t have it in my mind that I’d be doing it as a job, I just painted because I liked to paint." - Millo from 2013 interview source
In Montreal, in 2018, he painted this mural, Art-Libre with many references to Quebec with the role that art and culture play in the lives of Montrealers. The food truck becomes Art truck as Street Art feeds the minds of people !

I always like to see artists working live, it gives a better idea of the preparatory work done before :

more amazing finds!
Thanks...
Ohh dude, this is awesome, I have seen paintings of this artist before, but I did not know whom was it, thanks for sharing!
On his website, there are impressive mural and also in Mexico with Above the Masks :
Oh, I do love this one. Not too overly done with splashes of colour everywhere. Just a subtle shade here and there, with an end result that is very pleasant to look at :-)
It's the first time I see you comment one of my Street Art post... I converted you to Street Art? 😀
Lol, I've always enjoyed your Street Art posts, mate! It's just that I know absolutely nothing about artwork at all, especially in terms of street-art, or graffiti as I normally know it to be. Today, finally I thought that I might be educated enough to make a good comment XD
You're a wise man 😀
I'm wisest when it comes to cars, but for everything else, my wisdom starts tanking quite easily 😁
That's a great find..really cool style!
Yep very recognizable style. There're some amazing murals on his website.
Nice post. Thank you!
Thanks... And by the way, it's cool to see your work on Hive.
Thanks a lot :)
