Being able to shape, with my own hands, something as meaningful as the Art Wall of the Uniqlo Store in Piazza Cordusio in Milan is a truly special milestone for me, one that goes beyond the professional dimension.
I couldn’t be happier.
It’s not every day that you’re given a “canvas” like this, a place where you can paint and bring your world and your characters to life, right in the heart of the city that has always felt closest to my heart.
For Uniqlo, I’ve illustrated the concept of Lifewear: the art of expressing who we are through what we choose to wear every day. The characters who stroll, play, fly, and dream across the wall know this well. In Milan, the city that celebrates fashion and style like no other, clothing becomes part of our own story. Each outfit turns into a small gesture of self-expression.

My heartfelt thanks go to the entire Uniqlo team, who made me feel at home and cared for every time I walked into the store. It’s an honor to receive your trust, both in me and in my creatures.
A warm thank-you to Acapulco for bringing this project to life, coordinating it with care and passion, and guiding me step by step throughout the entire process.
And last but not least, my sincere thanks to the wonderful team at Spazio 65 Hangar, my adventure and on-site companions, who supported me every single day with their professionalism - and, above all, their kindness - during the making of the mural.

And a note: until Christmas, with every purchase in any Uniqlo store in Italy, you’ll receive illustrated postcards featuring the mural’s characters, so you can take a piece of it home with you.
