My greatest influence is the daily routine of our time. The stimuli can now be infinite enough if only you train your operating system in such a way of thinking.  Architecture, urban scenery are some thing i really observe. I would describe my job as an emotional escape or otherwise as a spiritual revelation. It’s obvious that it’s geometric, sometimes more rigid in terms of structure and forms and sometimes more free. Abstract compositions with handwriting scriptures, motifs, and stylized forms are some of the elements I have been studying and working on lately. The spontaneity and the element of improvisation play a decisive role in the creative process and it’s an internal necessity that guides me through the appropriate combination of color-form-object.

Dimensions are variable, according to the project.
Materials: Acrylics, Spraypaint, Tapes,Rulers.

Peanuts Deli

Gloucester, United Kingdom

I used to make sandwiches but I also offer equally delicious design and illustration, every piece of work still comes with your choice of sauce, pickles and salad.
Artwork presentation
I like to explore form and movement through my own character development and the world they exist in. Everything is done with spray paint normally onto as large a wall as I can find but normally around 2-3 meters by 4-5 meters. The bigger the better! I tend to work with a bright colour pallet and like to stick to just 2-3 main colours then vary the hues to create depth and contrast. There is no deep philosophical meaning behind my work I prefer to create something that anyone can look at and enjoy without any prior understanding of art. I just like to make people smile.

Artwork presentation
Graphite putty, ink, paper, acrylic sprays, acrylic paint, gold leaf, pencil, markers My subject matter is the essence of the world I live in: dystopia. Inevitably, every individual witnesses the devastation of modern society. Instead of paying tribute to nature, we opt in favor of worshiping materialism, forgetting our origin. I see in my artwork the today’s crisis; I see a nature that has sunk into the dystopia that human has imposed, remonstrating the contemporary world.

HazardOne

Bristol, United Kingdom

Hazard a.k.a Harriet Wood was recognised in The Guardian's Top 5 female graffiti artists in the UK, followed by the Top 25 female street artists by The Huffington Post. After two years in Barcelona, she's now based in Bristol, UK. Her portfolio includes many female portraits and detailed floral pieces amongst other creatures!

Artwork presentation
I first started spray painting when I was 13 years old after having a teenage crush on someone who tagged! Since then I've attempted to get to grips on my can control and I'm trying to improve and challenge myself every time I use a spray can. I love playing with light and surfaces – my portfolio includes many portraits and I have a focus on the way light can throw shadows and change colours. Because of the way aerosols can blend I've been pushing myself with colour palettes, using rich tones contrasted with complimentary and juxtaposing shades. One of the most challenging pieces I've painted recently is a cut whiskey glass. This was a particularly challenging piece due to the liquid, transparency of the glass and refracted light. I paint entirely freehand (all spray cans and caps!) which makes creating the appearance of different textures and surfaces in aerosol really fulfilling! The first portrait I've submitted hopefully shows a "sophisticated" soft and warm colour palette, the second the cut glass in greys, blues and browns and the final portrait a red hot, steamy portrait of a female smoking painted in a much more loose style.
