MakeNoize is a Montreal-based street artist with over 15 years of practice in the local urban art scene. His work is known for anonymous street interventions using stencils, graffiti, and poetic urban signage, often featuring universal messages such as LOVE, HOPE, KINDNESS, and simple symbols like smiley faces.
His practice is strongly connected to themes of mental health, emotional well-being, and positivity in public space, aiming to transform the city into a medium for accessible and uplifting communication.
After years of anonymous street interventions, his work gradually evolved toward institutional public art projects, while maintaining his recognizable visual language.
In 2025, he created the mural Fierté in Montréal-Nord, marking his first officially recognized large-scale mural, and a key milestone in his transition into community-based public art.
