Federico Ceruso, aka Pepemaniak, was born in Rome on 1991. Pepemaniak's career begins at a young age, when in 2010 began the production and distribution of stickers depicting a stylized vagina, an intuition that will forever mark his artistic path.
In 2012, after an initial period of his career spent in the eternal city, Maniak moved to Miami with a fervent desire to refine and smooth his painting technique. In 2016 Maniak returns to his homeland where he obsessively continues his work and where he never missed an opportunity to incorporate new expressive genres into his artistic practice. At the same time, he is developing projects in the world of fashion, coming into contact with international brands such as Adidas and GUIDI.
