He's a mysterious Russian street artist -- compared to Britain's Banksy whose graffiti stencils can sell for hundreds of thousands of pounds.

The Russian's guerilla artworks range from intricate spray-paintings to complex combinations of fire, music and video.

Like Banksy, he refuses to reveal his true identity, but the man who calls himself "Pavel 183" did agree to meet with BBC's Moscow Correspondent Daniel Sandford.
