Nychos, the distinguished Austrian illustrator, urban artist, graffiti artist, and muralist, has gained international acclaim for his incisive and scientifically anatomical creations exhibited across numerous cities worldwide. Born during the early 1980s, his surrealist style gradually took shape, evolving through a process of experimentation enriched by influences stemming from hunting, heavy metal, tattoo culture, and associated subcultures. Nychos consistently taps into his profoundly introspective nature and a yearning to deconstruct objects to unravel their inner workings.

While participating in the inaugural Nice Surprise Festival in Stavanger, he presents “The Girl with the Tiger Tattoo,” a work imbued with profound personal significance. In a departure from his customary practice, Nychos even composed an Ode dedicated to this piece, a novel endeavor for the artist. While some may find themselves taken aback by the thematic content of his latest creation in this particular town, Nychos is well aware of the discerning nature of this audience, which has long celebrated the presence of exceptional artworks in the public realm.

Expressing his sentiments on his Instagram page, Nychos declares, “Stavanger has undeniably etched a special place in my heart.”
