Imagine you’re a fucking independent artist. You’ve got the weirdest fucking job in the world and you’re out here alone in this fucking digital jungle with no help from anyone. You’ve got to pay dues, take on responsibilities, and try to show your art to the whole damn world with your hands tied. All this shit while trying not to lose your mind, because if you do anything else, you can’t focus fully on your art and you can’t improve or become the best in your field.

STREET ART AND GRAFFITI: A PERSONAL REFLECTION FROM THE HEART OF URBAN ART
It’s a Friday night in the summer. My parents are finishing dinner, the TV is on, the lights are off, and the windows are open. I’m getting my backpack ready: a few spray cans, my blackbook, and I’m about to head out the door. I tell them goodbye and they remind me not to be too late. I’m 14 years old and my friends are waiting for me at the neighborhood stairs to go out painting. We’re at a wall by a marina, barely visible under the faint light, the only sound in the distance is the shaking of spray cans by my friends. No one disturbs us, no one watches us; the moment is perfect.

An endurance race
For a long time now, I've felt a pressing need to share my insights, believing firmly that being a visual artist encompasses far more than just creating art. Society often views artists through the lens of Instagram and other social media platforms, where the focus seems to be on sharing their work and little else. While this approach is perfectly valid for those who choose it, I find it somewhat limiting. Personally, I am driven by a desire to contribute more than just my art; I aim to provoke thought, challenge norms, and inspire.
