Projects Across Cultures and Territories

Murals across Europe

He has been invited to paint in a wide range of contexts across the globe, often in locations far removed from conventional art circuits. Among these, he created a mural in Djebel Djelloud (Tunis) with the support of the Tunisian Ministry of Culture, worked in Mumbai and in other parts of India, including Varanasi, and brought his practice to Mongolia, from Ulaanbaatar to the remote village of Khanbogd in the Gobi Desert.

He has also worked in Peru, producing artworks in Rioja in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. These experiences reflect an ongoing engagement with diverse cultural and environmental contexts, while pointing to a broader and continually expanding international practice.

Neve was featured in the prestigious volume 222 Emerging Artists to Invest In for 2024, curated by C. Biasini Selvaggi, a recognition that underscores his growing presence within the contemporary art scene.

In addition to his murals, Neve has collaborated with global brands such as Michelin, IKEA, Disney, Campari, E-Distribuzione and Eni, creating works that intersect street art, muralism, and urban regeneration.

In 2015, the Municipality VI of Rome named the nursery school on Via Paternò in honor of the artist, following the creation of an anti-racism mural on its facade portraying the faces of children from different ethnic backgrounds. His works in Lampedusa in 2019 and 2023, created for the memorial dedicated to the victims of the tragic shipwreck of October 3, 2013, further reflect his commitment to social and humanitarian themes.
