THE THIEF

I spotted this door in a quiet back alley a few weeks back and I loved the old rusty lock and the tags on it. I painted this man wearing a balaclava hiding and sneaking out to have a quick glance at the surroundings.

BALACLAVA

This piece was a nice challenge: a perspective exercise on top of spraying in the dark! As the double shutters only go down from 19:00, I had to paint during the night (which looked quite suspicious, and triggered a courtesy visit from the police). Despite not seeing much I’m happy with the result, and the perspective effect works well.

The mural depicts two eyes looking straight ahead, watching the pedestrians. They are in a balaclava, a type of mask that only reveals part of the face. The image is inspired by a photo of the band Pussy Riot who are well known for their protests wearing colourful balaclavas. The sky pattern makes the image looks peaceful, while the inner revolt lays.

SKY IS (NOT!) THE LIMIT

L’Expo de Ouf is a cultural and artistic festival taking place in Nimes, South of France. This year more than 25 artists from all over France took over the streets of the city for a week, producing colourful murals and graffitis.

I was given a large double wall which was a great surface to paint on and a great challenge. My piece is inspired by the quote “Sky is the limit” and depicts a little boy eating a cloud, while a kitten is avidly watching him.
