Stefano Borella, also known as SteBore, is an Italian artist and illustrator born in 1991. He grew up surrounded by pencils, ceramics and sculptures, inspired by his mother’s artistic passion. Drawing became his first language — a way to observe the world, process emotions and turn invisible thoughts into direct visual statements.
His work explores the human condition through a tragicomic lens. Between chaos and the search for truth, SteBore creates images that are raw, ironic, fragile and intense at the same time. His visual language is built on strong contrast, expressive characters, bold typography and a sharp sense of social observation. Humor and discomfort often coexist in his works, creating images that feel immediate, human and slightly provocative.
Across his portfolio, Stefano moves between conceptual poster art, street-inspired illustration, public interventions and large-scale works. His series reflect on themes such as environmental crisis, identity, anxiety, social pressure, digital alienation, relationships, desire and the contradictions of everyday life. Works such as “Dear Ol’ World”, “Courtesy Gestures Between Strangers”, “Tuff Times”, “A Lovely Day of Anxiety” and “Passions” show his ability to transform complex emotional and social topics into strong, accessible images.
For Deckarts, SteBore brings this unmistakable visual energy onto skateboard decks. His designs combine black-and-white illustration, pop accents, grotesque expressions, absurd gestures and rebellious humor. Each deck becomes more than a decorative object: it is a collector piece, a visual punch and a statement for walls that need attitude.
Stefano Borella’s skateboard art is made for people who appreciate bold illustration, contemporary street culture and artworks that do not try to be quiet.
