SHUPAONE

My name is Caroline, 36 years old, also known as ShupaOne, I’m French with Vietnamese roots currently living in
France. I started doing graffiti when I was 17 on railways and warehouses mostly. I only painted letters, even though I loved drawing. I felt more attracted to the shapes and lines of letters, I had a real passion for Wild Style.

When I turned 19, my style evolved and I was more interested in doing colourful, complicated pieces. Afterwards, I went on with my corporate life and worked in international consulting for 12 years, taking a break from painting.

After Covid, I decided to return home and reunite with spray cans. I started getting paid gigs while keeping active in various graffiti jams, etc. At some point last year, I felt the need to further explore so I started painting figurative stuff. It was something that was on my mind for some time.

Everything fell into place: I quit my job and opened my art studio. Today, I paint murals up to 300 square meters, mostly commissioned work.

However, my deep love for graffiti and human connections remains at the heart of my activity. This is the reason why I continue to search for graffiti festivals, where I can meet fellow artists, share my passion, and learn from others.
