Seen, Richard Mirando of his real name, was born in 1961 in the Bronx where he grew up and still lives today. Very young, he is already a prodigy in plastic art. He was offered his first airbrush at the age of 11. Two years later, he produced & nbsp; paintings & nbsp; decorative on behalf of his uncle, owner of a car garage. He then customized his first vehicles. The Graffiti movement was at that time in full emergence. Richard is captivated by the painted metro trains that park in Lexington avenue on line 6 deposit, just behind his uncle's garage. He entered the deposit on a Saturday afternoon in 1973 and made his first "piece". He chooses the pseudo "seen". The sequence of the 2 "e" pleases him and the meaning corresponds to him. Graffiti becomes for him the means to make his desire to be seen by the greatest number. From simple spectator, he becomes an actor of the young movement. The metro becomes its privileged support. He then continues the actions and goes so far as to paint whole cars (Whole Cars) which will forever mark the spirit of the New York. Its name and art are conveyed throughout the city by the trains borrowed every day by hundreds of thousands of people. Son & nbsp; Style & nbsp; Unique, his creativity and tenacity devote him as the leader of the New York Underground Graffiti movement from the 80s. In 1982 the & nbsp; film & nbsp; Documentary Style & Nbsp; Wars of Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant make it an icon of the movement in the rest of the world. Recognized by his peers as the "Godfather of Graffiti", Seen is the most famous artist graffiti today whose influence is unprecedented
