EricsOne—born Maurizio Ricucci—emerged among Milan’s walls in the early 2000s, when the concrete was still white and the nights carried the scent of spray paint. He grew up surrounded by his father’s abstract canvases and the funk vinyls spinning at home: a visual and sonic world that soon merged with his own imagination and ignited the fuse of his expressive urgency.
He began as a graffiti writer, wielding distorted letters and characters inspired by 1970s American cartoons and underground pop aesthetics, yet his style was recognizable from the outset: angular volumes, crisp lines, desaturated colors, and, above all, a biting irony that restores humanity to the urban chaos.

Over time, that visual language evolves into a style he himself calls Streetcubismo: a visual short-circuit blending graffiti art, 2-D illustration, avant-garde advertising, and the Futurist dynamism of Fortunato Depero.

A personal and unmistakable aesthetic that inhabits walls, canvases, magazines, packaging, editorial projects, and public spaces.

But EricsOne is not only painting; he is voice, beat, and meter.
In parallel with his visual journey, he also cultivates a musical path, fusing rhyme and image into a fully integrated artistic vision.
In 2012 he produced an independent mixtape that blended worlds and generations—from Esa El Presidente and Oscar White to the then-up-and-coming Lowkidd (now Salmo’s producer) and Yazee (another standout name in Italian beat-making).
A sonic map of the underground rap scene, mirroring his nomadic and cross-genre attitude.
He is a member of the storied TDK Crew—twinned with Articolo 31’s Spaghetti Funk collective—and a firsthand witness to an unrepeatable chapter of Italian hip-hop. His roots lie there, yet his artistic language is always reaching further afield.
Over the years, his name began to travel. Foot Locker Europe chose him as their artist on a three-year contract, and his illustrations swept across shop windows and stores from London to Dubai. Collaborations followed with Peugeot, Campari, Saucony, Red Bull, New Era, IBM, Allianz Direct, Amazon, Vivident, and Hype—brands seeking in his linework a strong, vibrant identity that speaks to the present.
In 2022 he opened Navillains, his studio/atelier in the heart of Milan’s Navigli district—a vibrant, hybrid space where urban art, design, music, streetwear, and self-production converge. A place of collective vision and experimentation, it quickly became a point of reference for the city’s creative scene.

Today, EricsOne moves fluidly between muralism, public art, illustration, design, and educational projects. His works are urban tales: they speak of dreams, fractures, irony, and resistance, in a voice that is simultaneously popular and cultured, lyrical and streetwise, free-spirited and unmistakable.
