A course by Ceroker
Ceroker is a Colombian illustrator and urban artist who started painting at the age of 14. Having a defined social stance and studying graphic design led him to understand graffiti on another level. He became interested in typography and took advantage of everything he could learn to develop his style, until he decided to dedicate himself to what he loved most. Without finishing his degree, he began working in a studio as a graphic designer, collaborating on several projects creating logos and corporate images.
He went on to found the street art collective A Tres Manos Estudio. Today he is one of the most important representatives of Colombian Graffiti, where he stands out for his use of color, his characters, and the stories he tells in each of his murals.
