Fafinette (aka Fafi) is a graffiti artist whose works decorate many buildings throughout Europe, from the crumbling squats of East Berlin to the clean white walls of Parisian apartment blocks. In recent years, she has travelled around the world, finding obscure places to mark with her distinct, pop, girlie style. With humble roots painting walls in her hometown of Toulouse, France, today Fafi is known for her collaborations with companies such as Adidas and M.A.C cosmetics. Her sexy, curvaceous girl characters have appeared as designs on sneakers, in advertisements and even in music videos. But her work is not intentionally commercial. Rather, Fafi wants to create ‘personal’ works which just happen to be ‘loved by other people’.
