Petro was born in 1984 in the town of Zhukovsky (near Moscow). He is a multidisciplinary artist with a street background who has been painting on walls for over 20 years. The artist is the founder and a member of the Aesthetics Group duo. His current eclectic style is built on a combination of various concepts including the applied art and the architecture.
