I found inspiration in the gritty, urban landscape of the city. Growing up skating in the streets, I have always been drawn to the raw, unrefined beauty of the urban environment. The peeling paint, graffiti-covered walls, and worn-out skateparks have all played a role in shaping his unique style of street art.

My art is a reflection of my experiences skating in the streets. My paintings on skateboards capture the energy and movement of skateboarding, as well as the rough, industrial aesthetic of the city. My bold, graphic style is heavily influenced by the graffiti and street art that I grew up surrounded by.

In addition to painting on traditional canvases, I have found a new canvas in the form of skateboards. I believe that by painting on skateboards, I can create a new form of art that is not only visually striking, but also functional. The skateboards become both a work of art and a tool for expression, as they can be ridden and shared with others.

My art is a reflection of the urban landscape that has shaped me. Through my paintings on skateboards, I hopes to share my experiences and inspire others to see the beauty in the gritty, urban environment. My art is a celebration of the streets and the culture of skateboarding, and a reminder to always look for beauty in unexpected places.
