In 1977 he traveled to France to visit friends and immediately fell in love with Paris so much that he already knew he couldn't live anywhere else. He moved to France. Starting on the streets of Montmartre and making his waythrough prestigious Parisian galleries, Stokfisz Delarue reached the collections of countless museums and private collections with his work. Since 2007, he has lived and worked in Katowice and the south of France.
His nickname can be translated as a combination of his last name and the words de la rue (from the street).
