My artist statement
Growing up in a communist country, I have always seen graffiti as a selfless expression of creative and passionate people. People who are willing to put their time, talents, and often risk prosecution in the name of art or truth. In a country where you could not trust any media outlets, the truth was spray painted on the street walls.
Even thought this piece was created based on my personal experience and my country is free now I know that often the only truth is still being spray painted daily on many walls all over the world, bringing hope, encouragement or awareness.
