Francesco Camillo Giorgino, known simply as Millo, is an Italian street artist who's known for creating surreal urban murals.
His style stands out from others due to his unique illustrations that are paired with rather simplistic color palettes. Rather than infusing each part of his work with vibrant tones, he tends to do so minimally in order to make certain aspects pop off the wall a bit more.
For example, some of his latest urban murals consider the curiosity of children -- which the artist depicts by pairing giant figures with bright plant roots emerging from a city's streets. In another, his subject sits in between skyscrapers with a thermometer that towers over everything -- with only the red fluid inside marked by color.
