EL CRESPO aka ESA ft POLAZ, Donna Summer
El Crespo aka Esa, El Prez, El Presidente, Funkyprez, DJ Funkprez or Captain Futuro is one of the fathers of the Italian hip hop and rap world. During his adolescence he frequented hip hop circles as a breaker, in the 90s he began his artistic career as a writer, a street experience that grew parallel to the world of rap of which he became one of the most representative characters, both as a soloist and in groups and collectives as well as collaborations with different artists such as Big Fish, Sottotono, Kelly Joyce and Snap! (the complete biography and discography can be found on Wikipedia).
If in the music scene he is acclaimed as El Presidente, on the street and in the artistic environment he signs El Crespo, a tag that dates back to the 90s and to which the over 15k street art followers of social media are closely linked.
The union between music and urban art melts in the works in the studio. Portraits made with oil pastels of icons from the world of rap, hip hop but also jazz, soul and reggae that become real tributes.

After graduating in Literature and Philosophy in Bologna in 2012, Polaz moved to Birmingham, England, where he began painting and obtained a Masters in Fine Arts. In the following years he exhibited in various European cities; - including Paris, Madrid, London, Mainz and Oslo - and in group exhibitions in America - Chicago and Miami. Back in Italy in 2016, he exhibited in Rome, Milan, Modena, Faenza, Mantua and Bologna. In September 2019 he began a new path by enrolling in the Master's Degree in Philosophical Sciences at the University of Bologna. His paintings are a pop, street and post-modern assemblage that tends to create its own formal and sensitive language as well as to re-interpret artists recognized as cornerstones of art history.
In his own words:
"Creating a work of art, if we can say so, is bringing to the surface many ways of feeling, many perspectives, many layers, layers - trying in vain to hold together the contradictions in an assembly, a closed space - apparently closed, because in reality, that space changes every time we look at it; and in this lies the secret of the work of art that does not make us tired, in its having something new to say every time, in never allowing itself to be defined completely and yet remain - be so real and material "
