34 Fun Yet Sadly True Paste-Ups By Caiozzama

Born in Chile in 1981, Caiozzama expresses his art by making collages in the streets of the South American capital. He deals with subjects that make the news. For example, social networks, religion, multinational companies, migratory flows in Europe, and so on.

He does not have his own subjects. Instead, he reacts to those who make the headline in the media. He is provocative, committed, and satirical. This Chilean artist uses shocking images to divert the symbols of modern and Western consumerism.

His friends gave him the name Caiozzama in honor of the god protector of the galaxies who appears in the animated series Dragon Ball Z. The Chilean artist, born as Claudio Caiozzi says he uses the pseudonym to intervene on the street walls with messages and photomontages full of irony.

He got inspired by the superheroes of his childhood and the contingency of the news. He started a few years ago. Today, he practically lives off his art by selling the photographic records of his works.

For his work, he mixes images from the internet with those from the immense archive he obtained while traveling through Europe and Asia.
