sometimes it is hard to see an artist in his work, originally uploaded by tilo driessen.

Who is Fabrice?
Fabrice is one of the true street art pioneers in Amsterdam, he was doing figurative art in the streets back in the late 70s.
Here he’s working on an impressive mosaique at Heineken Plein, ‘Het Kompas’. It symbolizes the world itself and is a working compass guiding you north, south, east & west. The figures tell a story about each geographical direction.
