Pejac is known for his thought-provoking and humorous street art, similar to Banksy. His site-specific installations often use trompe-l’œil techniques to address social and environmental issues. Notable works include Stain (2011), which shows a world map funneled into a sewer, and Don’t Look Back in Anger (2016), featuring a version of van Gogh’s Starry Night on a Jaguar hood. A graduate of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, Pejac advocates for the accessibility of street art, with his works displayed in cities like Paris, London, Milan, and Tokyo.
