The mural “Primal Truth” by NYCHOS in Mannheim

Deeply rooted in graffiti and street art and shaped by pop-cultural influences, Nychos creates murals, visual art, illustrations, and sculptures. His anatomical visual language is unmistakable, evoking both unease and a powerful pull. His large-scale murals feature dissected, translucent figures—people, animals, and well-known characters from pop culture, comics, and television, such as Mickey Mouse and Barbie.

Layer by layer, NYCHOS peels them apart, revealing their physical structures: skin, muscles, bones, organs. Driven by an insatiable curiosity and the question: How deep can it go? His favorite tool: the spray can; his favorite surface: large, empty walls.
