Hi. My artist’s name is Reka524. 35 years old and born in Cologne. I live between Cologne and Bonn and I started writing around 2002. I’ve been part of the Ködscrew from Hennef(Sieg) and the 5zwo4 crew for about 18 years.
Painting as a whole has always been in our family, so I developed a passion for it. Back then, my uncle showed me how to give simple letters and objects a three-dimensional appearance. That made me the king of the school and everyone wanted something painted. With the knowledge of what to do with letters, the interest in graffiti developed.
At the beginning I was a big fan of wild and colorful styles. And that’s how my style developed over the years. I find it relatively difficult to describe his own style. I love to paint in certain curves and to give energy to the letters. Certainly inspired by many other great writers.
I am now listing painters from the region. Kong524: Love his super dope energy in his styles. Biatsch and Abe: Love his styles from before, when he painted even wilder. Always super clean styles. Semor: Always been one of the greatest painters with a blatant development. Pmode: Fantastic characters. Plaque, Tenk, Kayo, Smoe, Drek, Hope, Sime, Siras…. And so many more who have always inspired and pushed me. Love yourself and Love Graffiti.
Peace
