Tizlu is the professional alias of Tiziano Lucchese, a German-Italian street artist and muralist born in Bolzano in 1983 and now based in London. Raised bilingually in the Alps, he studied Broadcasting and Film in the Netherlands before committing full-time to visual art, bringing a cinematic sense of pacing and colour to every wall he paints. Working exclusively with acrylic and aerosol, he fuses photorealistic portraiture with abstract colour storms: faces emerge from rippling gradients, then fracture into geometric shards and sweeping calligraphic strokes, creating freeze frame impressions of urban energy. Metallic silvers, traffic-light greens and deep magentas lock together under bold black outlines, while negative space is treated as an active element that propels the composition forward.

Tizlu paints without stencils, mapping loose charcoal arcs directly onto brick or canvas before building layers of transparent glaze and opaque spray. This instinctive method allows drips and overspray to remain as evidence of motion, echoing the artist’s belief that perfection is less interesting than the moment of creation. He balances paid work with grassroots projects, teaching aerosol techniques to local teenagers and donating prints to charity auctions.

Recent exhibitions at Kunstbunker Nuremberg and group shows with The London Police collective have sold out, while public murals in Barcelona, Copenhagen and his adoptive London continue to attract photographers and skaters alike. Whether printing a pocket-sized zine or painting a ten-metre wall, Tiziano Lucchese approaches every surface with the same goal: spread colour, spark motion and remind viewers that creativity, like language, is most powerful when it crosses borders and connects cultures.
