FONKi is a Montreal artist. He was born in France to Khmer parents who were refugees from the Cambodian genocide of the 1970s.
At the age of 15, FONKi discovered graffiti. Little by little, FONKi established himself as one of the leading figures of the new generation of Montreal graffiti artists.
His art has allowed him to discover the world. He has created murals in England, France, Belgium, Cambodia, the United States, Mexico, Vietnam… Wherever he goes, he paints huge portraits celebrating local figures. These anonymous faces with deeply moving expressions have become FONKi’s signature.
From walls to canvas, FONKi has successfully adapted his street art to galleries.
