Boccanegra made his first steps in the Art World in 2014. The year before, he had refined a concept that he had developed using stencils. The concept itself is simple. You have the shape of e.g. a country and you fill it up with words that are linked to this country. For example: France = famous writers, painters, scientists, politicians, cities, etc. A surfboard = famous surfers. A T-Rex = dinosaurs.

Thesbocanegrae paintings were very well received and in a short time he got quite a following on instagram (around 50.000 followers in 1,5 years). Via Instagram he was also approached by several galleries and before he knew it, these paintings that he had worked on for hundreds of hours, were hanging in galleries in Los Angeles, Paris, New York, Mexico City, Antwerp and Brussels.
