Kontraband is a declaration.
A rebellion wrapped in color, shape, and texture. This body of work celebrates the unfiltered spirit of graffiti. Raw, loud, and alive. In a world where voices are too often muted, these pieces speak in bold color and wild lines, refusing to be silenced.
My palette is vivid and electric. Not just to catch the eye, but to reflect the urgency of the times. These new works continue my dialogue with the street: layered, gritty, and rooted in a visual language that’s born in rebellion and raised on the concrete walls of the city.
Freedom of speech isn’t just a right, it’s a necessity. Kontraband is about celebrating cultural identity, and confronting the systems that try to box us in. This is art that doesn’t ask for permission. It demands to be seen.
Welcome to the underground, the art you love to hate.
