Born in Lisbon in 1985, Pedro Campiche, aka AkaCorleone, studied graphic design at the IADE-Creative University and began his artistic career in the 2000s as a graffiti artist. In 2008, he began working on murals, and two years later, he exhibited his first works in galleries. From 2010 onwards, AkaCorleone defined an aesthetic for his work, which he continues to embody today. A multidisciplinary artist, street-artist AkaCorleone experiments with supports such as wood, cement, stone and tiles, as well as bas-relief and laser-cutting techniques. He loves color and builds his art around a desire for expression, taking it as a means of understanding and humanizing the environment. In 2012, the artist had his first solo exhibition in Switzerland. From the following year, he participated in festivals and exported his work around the world (Thailand, India, Romania, Spain, USA...). Today, he has more than 20 exhibitions to his name, including at the Underdogs gallery in Lisbon, Mathgoth in Paris in 2020, and at the Lisbon Natural History Museum in 2021.
