SENOR was born in 1983 in Paris of Greek parents and moved to Athens when he was 5 years old. He grew up in an artistic family, his mother was a painter and the family travelled a lot between Athens and Paris. In Paris, the young SENOR discovered graffiti writing and his mother bought him the book “Paris Tonkart” when he was 12 years old, which became a bible of French style writing for the young graffiti enthusiast. The book was published in 1991 by Tarek Ben Yakhlef and was the first book in France on the young French graffiti scene and the third publication worldwide on the subject after “Subway art” and “Spraycan art” from the USA. SENOR started tagging in 1995, his first pseudonyms were KITER and KEMO. A few years later, in 1998, he gave himself the name SENOR, a modification of the Spanish word “Senior”, which means Mr., Monsieur. He dropped the i and created SENOR, his artist name to this day. In 1999, he founded the crew TBD (The Brain Damaged) in Athens with which he mainly left tags and bombings in the urban space. Later, through friends of the Greek-French High School in Athens, he met some members of the crew DFP (Don’t Fake the Phunk) from Athens, founded in 1994\/1995, whose work he already appreciated since the 90s. He became friends with ANTE, KERTS and TAR\u00c9 and often painted with them and integrated the crew in 2003.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
