PAUL
YANER

Paul Yaner was born in Tuscany in the 1980s and began his artistic journey in the early 2000s, creating murals in major European, American, and Asian cities. His work focuses on a contemporary reinterpretation of classic New York-style lettering.

In 2019, he joined The Death Squad, the renowned international collective active since 1976 and considered one of the most influential in the history of graffiti writing.

Thanks to a solid network of relationships in the global art scene, he attracted the attention of Hugo Martinez, a historic New York gallery owner and a key figure in legitimizing street art in museums since the 1970s. He collaborated with him on the publication of the volume Graffiti 101 and participated in a group exhibition at Martinez’s new gallery space in Harlem, Manhattan.

Paul Yaner’s work has recently attracted growing interest, with numerous appearances in publications, events, and exhibition projects, including in institutional settings, such as the exhibition Attitude | Graffiti Writing, Street Art, Neo-Muralism at Palazzo Blu in Pisa, marking a coherent and conscious evolution of his path between urban art and contemporary visual research.

Since 2025, the artist has been collaborating with Street Levels Gallery in Florence, a key point of reference in both the Italian and international urban art scene.
