Super A

Stefan Thelen, known by his artist name Super A, is a Dutch contemporary artist, muralist, and street artist who has gained international recognition for his distinctive style. Born in Goes, the Netherlands, in 1981, he started his artistic career as a graffiti artist in the late 1990s. Super A is known for his incredible attention to detail, photorealistic approach, and his unique style that combines elements of traditional painting with urban art. His work often features a mix of surrealism, abstraction, and hyperrealism, which makes his artwork stand out from other street artists. One of the most recognizable aspects of his work is the concept of "Trapped," in which he peels away layers of famous characters, such as Disney characters or famous paintings, to reveal their true, often darker, nature. This technique has become a signature of his art, and it reflects his commentary on society and the contrast between the superficial and the underlying reality. Super A has showcased his art in various solo and group exhibitions worldwide, and his murals can be found in many cities across the globe. His work is appreciated for its thought-provoking themes, visual impact, and technical skill.
