“If it’s work for clients, sometimes the available budget gets in my way. Often my ideas are over budget and I have a hard time simplifying them and taking a step back at the expense of the idea.When it comes to private work, it’s often time that gets in my way. Nowadays we are used to seeing new work very...
“The differences are technical, but the motifs I paint and the joy in creating them are the same. My works on paper are mostly screen-printing. I paint the walls in the warm season, in the winter I work mainly in the printing house. While painting the mural, I am alone on a scaffold and have a lot of time to...
“They mainly pertain to the surfaces and the material, with issues regarding geometry and dimensions. When it comes to colours, I use my own identity and characteristics, which centre around the use of vibrant colours, especially when they involve my Robolitos characters, which become more visible in all aspects.”...
“While I’m painting on the paper drafts of new murals, my brain is already building architecture, walls around it to see the whole picture.While working on paper, I’m starting from an idea and trying to find the proper place, shape and location for implementation.

“Before painting legal murals I thought that my art was basically liked by young audiences – the ones who are my biggest fans on Instagram or couples who buy my prints for their first home. After painting murals, I found out that they bring smiles and appreciation from older folk too, and from very different social classes. Visibility is really...
“One of the biggest difference is the physical aspect. While it is definitely more tiring, there’s just something very soothing, honest and humbling about being faced with a huge wall armed with only a couple of spray cans. It’s quite a therapeutic and self-reflective experience, similar to something one would experience when climbing a mountain. There’s also the excitement and...
“Colouring is a very important part of the work. When I make a design on a computer I am satisfied with the colours, but if I print or paint on a large scale, I need to deal with some changes.
