WHERE ARE YOU FROM AND WHERE DO YOU LIVE NOW?

I’ve been living in London (UK) for the last 9 years. I’m originally from the outskirts of Naples (ITALY).

WHEN DID YOU START?

I started in ’98, but I have stopped and started many times. My life hasn’t been the easiest however in the last few years I finally got a good rhythm in my life so I’m now painting with much more consistency.

WHAT’S YOUR INSPIRATION?

My biggest inspiration comes from the 80s and 90s NYC scene, I admire artists like Phase2 (RIP), Kase2 (RIP), Seen, Ces and others. I also love the north European graffiti scene: countries like Germany, Belgium and France express an incredible level of graffiti.

COULD YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR STYLE?

If I had to give my style a name, it would be called “Retrofuture”. I get inspired from oldschool NYC wild styles, but at the same time I try to create something that feels contemporary, keeping my letters always sharp and up-to-date, with a personal use of colour contrasts. I keep my letters readable enough, so people don’t eventually have to guess and can appreciate more the aesthetics of them.
