Born in Halle/Saale in 1979 and grew up in northern Germany.
He has been involved with painting and graphics since early childhood, and in the 1990s he discovered street art and graffiti as his preferred form of expression and in his teens he was often out and about as a graffiti artist. Later he restricted himself to canvases and worked more with oil and acrylic. At the age of 23 he had his first exhibition and two years later his first gallery contract.
After studying politics and theology, he lived and worked mainly in Berlin.
In 2013, he shifted his centre of life to Austria, where he still lives and works as a freelance artist in Burgenland.
His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, at various art fairs and in a few galleries - some of the more recent paintings can be seen on his website - www.ettorealbert.com
