Ninjaz

Vincenzo Di Martino, known as Ninjaz, was born in 1986 in Florence and is an Italian painter and
street artist. He graduated in 2014 with a degree in Industrial Design from the University of Florence, and after some work experiences, he chose to devote himself exclusively to his artistic career.
Ninjaz has been part of the Graffiti and Subculture world since the age of twelve, when he started to engage in hip hop music and spray painting on walls and canvases. In 2005, he founded NUMA Crew, a pioneering group in the Italian
Dubstep scene, of which the artist is still a member as an MC. In the same year, he began working with public and private clients, and in 2007 he exhibited in his first group show at Le Giubbe Rosse, a historic place for Florentine futurism.
Two years later, he carried out his first urban intervention with the Municipality of Florence. In a short time, Ninjaz became a prominent artist in the Florentine scene, and by 2010, he was already teaching Spray Art at the Juvenile Detention Center in Sesto Fiorentino. His experience as a Writing instructor would be repeated over the
years on many occasions, including a course held at the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence in 2019.
The years following 2010 mark only the beginning of a continuous artistic career characterized by numerous exhibitions, urban interventions in Italy, Norway, France, and Spain, competitions won, workshops, and talks on Writing to which
he has been invited to participate. In 2017, the artist took part in his first solo exhibition at the
Street Levels Gallery in Florence, continuing with multiple commissions for public and private institutions, including one of the largest murals in Italy painted in 2023 in collaboration with the artist Mozz in Bibbiena, with whom he also worked
on a project for the Italian State Railways. Along his artistic journey, he founded various crews and
collaborations with numerous artists that have had a significant impact on the regional art scene.
