Details
How would you describe the work you do and why?
My practice focuses on abstract graffiti as a tool for emotional expression. Through gesture, colour, and layered mark-making, I externalise internal states. I work this way to better understand my own emotions and to invite viewers to recognise their own experiences within the work.
For you what does being an artist mean?:
Being able to express my emotions in a visual way.
Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:
I’m an abstract graffiti artist. My work comes directly from my emotions, each piece is a visual response to how I’m feeling in the moment.
CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice:
Self Taught abstract graffiti working outside traditional structures. Focused on energy, movement, and instinct. Using abstraction to break rules and build something personal.
