El Gato Chimney was born in Milan, where he currently lives and works. He started his career as a self-taught artist, developing an early interest in graffiti that made him pursue a successful journey into streetart.
As the years went by, thanks to the acquisition of new knowledge and the need to continuously improve his technical skills, El Gato began to prefer to paint in his studio, dedicating his time to introspective research to depict immaterial things, such as emotions and inner visions.
