Jericho is a Filipino artist who lives in Rome, Italy.
He relocated to Rome with his family when he 10 years old, and began his immersion into the Italian culture. At the young age of 13, he started creating graffiti and would post his work in abandoned and secluded areas.
His love of Art History surfaced early on and notes that he was influenced in his studies by a variety of artists such as Francis Bacon and Van Gogh. His talent and generous spirit is beyond his years. His mural works are much sought after.

Jerico’s portrait above is located in a large park in Rome. When one walks past it, it is quite calming.. and effects the observer slows down.
Lovely to connect with Jerico in Rome this past June. We spent time together discussing his work, passions, and next projects. Our passions are well aligned in regards to the profound shift that public art brings to communities. His works are incredibly impactful.
He is great example of the impact of story telling and urban regeneration. Such a unique style and spirit. Watch out world!
