Biography

Fanakapan is a prolific street artist, known for hyper-realistic 3D visuals of real life objects, most notably, helium foil balloons. Via his sublime skill for highly-technical free hand, shadow and reflective highlights, the artist is able to create flat pieces that pop from the surface, tricking the human eye into believing it’s seeing a real object.  
With a background in stage prop design, it was in his hometown of Dorset that this self-taught artist began making stencils. He discovered spray paint in the early 2000's and it is from 2010 that he conceived the beginnings of "Balloon Graff".
