Miss Van is the street name of Vanessa Castex, hailing from Toulouse, France, where she was a graffiti artist since she was 18.
Currently residing in Barcelona, Spain, where she is now a world-famous artist whose critically acclaimed works have been displayed and sold both on canvas, events as well as on products every where.
Van's drawings are of the infamous sloe-eyed woman, covering a varied array of female forms and expressing many different emotions. Her drawn-beings are catty, come-hither, moody, S & M and animal-loving (especially rabbits); at once weird yet sexy and emotive, provocative and intriguing.
Unlike graphic-artist, Jason Brooks, whose drawn-beings typify (and probably stereotyped; he's a genius) the sexy-chic jet-set model, Van's drawn-beings are not sleek but very relatable in both form and emotion.
In fact, in my opinion, she's the most likely the key successor to master Botero and his podgy Beings.
Impactful and insightful, it's little wonder Miss Van is already considered by many to be a living legend to the scene and her iconic works speak for themselves.
She single-handedly put Toulouse's street graffiti style on the map and has spurred an entire generation of emulators.
Va-Va-Van Voom !!! :op
