Concrete & Graffiti sculpture - 64 x 24 cm
These sculptures are a tribute to the raw and authentic spirit of graffiti, harking back to its roots in the 1960s United States and its explosive growth in the 1980s. Drawing inspiration from my visit to New York in 1982, when I was first exposed to the vibrant culture of the city, I was deeply moved by the energy of breakdancing and the graffiti that covered the streets. These pieces are not just representations but fragments of that urban world—real sections of wall, imbued with the rebellious creativity that defined the ghettos of that era.
Through these sculptures, I aim to capture the essence of a time when graffiti was more than just art—it was a voice, a protest, and a celebration of life on the streets.
