Alessio Hassan Alì (Hipo): Soul in Color For Alessio Hassan Alì, known as Hipo, art was never a choice but a silent calling felt since early childhood. This creative urgency took shape at the age of 13 when, driven by a lifelong passion, he began making his mark in the world of graffiti. From the street to the canvas, his journey is one of authentic and material evolution: from his early, iconic experiments on reclaimed materials and cans, Hipo expanded his research by transforming spray cans themselves into painted artworks. These pieces, which marked his successful debut in the auction market, paved the way for his current stage of mature and conscious painting on canvas. "Be in your heart" | "Time is art, art is life" These mottos define his philosophy: art that springs from the heart and celebrates existence itself. His mastery now merges the instinctive energy of Street Art with a meticulous search for chromatic quality. Each work is the result of a careful selection of techniques designed to endure, transforming urban dynamism into the lasting vision of a contemporary artist. An International Dialogue Hipo’s works are now held in exclusive private collections worldwide, from Paris to Tokyo, and Miami to Taiwan, testifying to a visual language capable of transcending all cultural boundaries. Creative Maturity By reinterpreting Pop icons and the Great Masters of history, Hipo is currently experiencing his most reflective creative season. Each canvas is a meeting point between his street heritage and the refinement of maturity: a sincere dialogue between his roots and the future of contemporary art.
