Q. GRAFFITI IS A UNIQUE HOBBY. HOW DID YOU FIRST GET INTO IT? A. A very unique hobby indeed. It’s like many other hobbies that have foundations in a rich passion or determination to do something while killing time in the process. But there’s something special about graffiti. It draws you in and gives you a certain peace between different worlds, which in this case happens to be an internal world within your mind. I got into graffiti writing at a very early age. My art started to take on a rebellious edge, and it was about time that I found such an amazing craft to hone and make my own. Q. HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DEVELOP YOUR STREET ART STYLE? A. It usually takes years to craft your style, but as the saying goes, there is nothing new under the sun. So it’s based on a lot of research and individual personality: your likes, dislikes, passion, and creativity all add up to create your unique style, then the rest just becomes second nature. Q. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? A. I don’t have a particular label for my style, but it’s highly influenced by ancient cultures. I would say it’s timeless, as people from all over the world can relate to my style. I hardly explain what it is; I let people’s minds fill in the gaps, and everyone interprets it differently as we have unique perspectives that shape us.
Q. WHERE DO YOU TAKE YOUR INSPIRATION FROM? A. I take my inspiration from previous life experiences and the mystery of ancient civilizations. From the languages spoken, the writing systems, the African masks, and shamanic dances to the art on the walls and the hieroglyphs inscribed on the walls that have stood the test of time. I don’t have a particular label for my style, but it’s highly influenced by ancient cultures.
