Dran’s clever street art practice reflects on societal issues related to creativity and the freedom of expression. He explores these themes through his surreal characters; many of which are children holding crayons, a choice that suggests the imaginative potential of young minds while also critiquing societal tendencies to suppress youthful creativity. Other figures in his artwork include popes, riot police, clowns, families of tourists, and pop culture icons like Pinocchio and Tintin, along with renowned artists such as van Gogh and famous artworks like the Mona Lisa. Dran has showcased his work extensively across Europe, in cities such as London, Paris, and Barcelona, and has created public art in various cities throughout the continent.
