Biography
Peja was born Silvestre Santiago in Santander, Spain, in 1977. He has become internationally acclaimed for his thought-provoking work – which encompasses street art, installations and indoor pieces. Pejac developed a deep interest in art from an early age. In order to further his artistic development, he first studied Fine Arts at the University of Salamanca, then at the University of Barcelona, followed by the Accademia di Belle Arti in Milan, and finally the San Carlos School of Fine Arts in Valencia, Spain. These experiences, particularly his exposure to classical art and urban environments, greatly influenced his distinctive artistic style.Pejac's art is characterised by its subtlety, minimalism and profound messaging. Often incorporating elements of surrealism, his works engage with themes like environmental conservation, social injustice and the absurdities of modern life. What sets his art apart is the clever integration of these themes into urban and natural landscapes, creating an immersive experience that prompts viewers to reflect deeply.
Gaining recognition in the early 2000s, Pejac's street art began appearing in various cities around the world, from his native Spain to distant locations like Istanbul, Paris, and Moscow. His works remain a testament to the power of art in conveying messages about the world we live in.
Pejac’s passion for art started as a young child, which he fine tuned as he attended a number of prestigious schools. His ability to transform ordinary spaces like walls, windows, and sidewalks into extraordinary visual narratives garnered him an international following. His work is not limited to street art; Pejac also creates studio pieces that include paintings, sculptures and drawings, often exhibiting them in galleries and art shows globally.
Throughout his career, Pejac has been known for preserving his anonymity, similar to other street artists like Banksy. This mystique adds to the allure of his art, allowing the work itself to become the centre of attention. As a result, Pejac's art continues to provoke thought and inspire conversations about the role of art in society, making him a significant figure in the contemporary art scene.
In addition to large-scale public works, Pejac also creates smaller drawings and paintings, some of which have been released as limited edition prints. The artist tries to ensure that everyone has a chance of acquiring his prints, so he has a lottery system in place at the events where these are sold. This is in line with his ethos of accessibility and fairness within the art world and beyond.
