Simone Bonetta, better known by the pseudonym B.simo, was originally trained in restoration techniques before being swept away by the worlds of tattooing and street art.

For someone like him—who draws on human skin or the concrete walls of a city—style is a complex matter. The overload of stimuli, influences, and possibilities flows into a kind of Babel-like language, taking the form of a hybrid, crossbred painting style. His work blends synthetic elements with gestural interventions, merging the functionality of illustration with engraver-like calligraphic detail.
