Born in France, the artist operates under a pseudonym and maintains anonymity while executing his public art projects. He gained prominence through his systematic installation of mosaic tiles in urban environments, a practice he refers to as Invasions.
His signature work utilizes ceramic tiles to recreate characters from classic arcade games such as Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Super Mario Bros. These works are strategically placed in highly visible, often elevated locations across major global cities, effectively turning urban architecture into a canvas for digital-inspired iconography.
The artist documents his expansive body of work through the publication of maps and guidebooks, which serve as navigational tools for audiences to locate his installations. His practice has evolved into a global phenomenon, with thousands of individual mosaics installed across dozens of countries.
