“I use a similar process on paper as on the wall. I paint with acrylic paint, the style and colour palette is pretty much the same. I would say that the biggest difference is the amplification of the drawing. I do not usually use a particular method; sometimes I make a grid, but mostly I draw straight onto the wall,...
“I love working with large formats and monumental forms. When working with a large format, I try to create maximum expression with simple shapes and combinations. When creating a colour palette, I start from the entourage of the drawing I have outlined and the idea that it shows. It is important to integrate your work appropriately into the city’s exterior.In...
“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.

Working on a wall, in most cases environment and architecture are an extra source to refine...
“The biggest difference is your relationship to the space. If you’re starting with a flat piece of paper going directly to the wall, you miss the opportunities of the space. Ideally, I want to walk through the space and understand the light, how people move through the architecture and, most of all, the possibilities. You could see a wall as if...

“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...

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...
