Ever began his career as a graffiti writer in the streets of Buenos Aires in the 90’s. His style developed almost accidentally as he began to painting portraits of ex-lovers and his brother. He found that the result of this was to give importance to the inconsequential, that the anonymous faces he was painting were imbued with an unintentional gravitas by the viewer. His philosophy was, and still is, that graffiti is a point of connection for people.
Ever explores the themes of religion, contradiction and politics in his murals. He is fascinated by the human body and uses this as an artistic vehicle, combining portraits or figurative studies with social criticisms. His style is more closely related to traditional fine art and he is highly skilled with both aerosol and latex. His compositions are often vibrant in colour and he has recently begun to experiment with art installations, providing commentaries on current events using stuffed animals, ping-pong tables and toilets.
Based in Buenos Aires, Ever has participated in exhibits, residencies and festivals from Art Basel (Miami), Mammut Project (Mexico City) and Public Festival (Perth) to Lazarides Gallery (London) and the Inoperable Art Gallery Mural Project (Vienna).
