For those who don't know who is André Saraiva


André Saraiva, known worldwide as André, is a Swedish-French graffiti artist known for his playful characters and prolific production. His artistic spirit has grown beyond the streets of Paris, into the realm of hospitality, nightlife, fashion, and more!


His short biography


Also known as Monsieur André or Monsieur A, André Saraiva is an artist of Portuguese origin, born in Sweden and raised in France in Paris. Mr. A is the emblematic character that he started tagging all over Paris to stand out and revolutionize traditional graffiti. He developed his Mr. A character and became one of the first artists to use a logotype as his signature. André’s work appeared in the MoCA, at the Grand Palais in Paris, the Parco Museum in Tokyo, and across all six inhabited continents. Beyond graffiti, he’s established successful nightclubs such as Le Baron and the Hotel Amour chain. 


Psst.. Did you know? The works of André Saraiva are not limited to graffiti. The artist has also worked in fashion, designing limited editions of men's and women's clothing. You can buy pants, jackets, sweatshirts, and accessories designed by André Saraiva himself.


Let's talk about André Saraiva’s work


André Saraiva is best known for his Mr. A character, a cheeky figure bursting with personality. This round-headed design is accentuated by a mischievous smile and a wink. The instantly recognizable expression comes to life with neon light as playful as Mr. A himself. While this graffiti character is André’s signature, his work extends beyond the energetic usage of lines and iconography. His irreverent style has found its way into music videos, clothing, films, and beyond. André’s universe is full of light and play, the perfect companion for neon art!


André Saraiva created the “Love Graffiti” project where he would tag the name of a person’s lover in a location of their choosing. This celebration of love gained André even greater acclaim. His irreverent creativity produced films, canvases, fashion items, and the display called Andrépolis; a miniature city accentuated by neon light. Alongside our collection with Monsieur Chat, André brings French street-art style to our neon world!

ANDRÉ SARAIVA

Known for his inimitable graffiti and pioneering work in nightlife and hospitality, André Saraiva’s universe is full of light and full of play. From the mischievous grin of Mr. A, to his interpretation of the yellowpop rocket, we knew immediately that the collaboration would be a hit. His imagery and his attitude were made for neon. We’ve always been huge fans of Andre’s work, and when we first started collaborating with artists, he instantly came to mind. For us, working with an icon like André and bringing his art to life in neon is what yellowpop is all about.

“Neons are my shooting stars in the night of the cities. They make the magic start when the sun goes down and when I can go and paint the walls with a sexy glow. These neons are a tribute to those times.”
