Niko Stumpo was born in Drammen,<br />
Norway. He spent his first years in<br />
Norway before moving to Italy at<br />
the age of six. Here, he started<br />
skateboarding. His first career was<br />
one as a professional skater, and he<br />
toured Europe, until a serious injury<br />
cut his skating career short. He was<br />
forced to change his focus, which<br />
led him to rediscover his passion<br />
for art.<br />
He had finished art in high<br />
school, and later enrolled in a fine<br />
70 d<br />
art academy, but never finished<br />
the course. Instead of continuing<br />
school, he decided to rely on his<br />
own creativity, and became<br />
fascinated with Web design. Since<br />
then, he has worked as a creative<br />
director at Quam, a major design<br />
agency in Milan. He then started<br />
out on his own. His clients have<br />
included MTV Italy, MTV France,<br />
EA Sports, Sony PS2, Nike, Condé<br />
Nast, Cap<strong>com</strong>, Powerade, Heineken,<br />
and Goretex.<br />

work, Stumpo still spends time on<br />

His artwork has been exhibited<br />
at the Biennial in Tirana and Valencia,<br />
the World Wide Web Exhibition in<br />

Pompidou in Paris, the Riviera<br />
