About the Artist: I am an Urban Artist specialized in Arabic calligraphy. Over the years I have developed a personal style that incorporates three different languages that make up my identity: English since I live in the USA, the Bangla, language of my fatherland, and Arabic which is the language of the religion I belong to.
Although my works contain words in three different languages, there is always at least one recognizable word, and this makes the audience curious to ask and decode the message, and this led them to a deep connection with my art.
Even if I use ancient techniques and universal messages of peace, I keep going trying new shapes and colors to present my art to the world with a modern look.

About the Artist: I love finding a balance between opposites in my work. I have a background in graphic design, traditional drawing/painting, and a soft spot for street art so I try and mesh the styles together. With my pieces I try to work in bright, expressive colors and textures alongside tight line work and realism for something unexpected and fun to find.

About the Artist: I grew up in Buffalo in a time before smartphones, before Instagram. To keep myself occupied I explored the rust belt and all it’s abandoned glory.
Once I discovered people were inside these places painting. Aerosol has consumed my entire life, what started as a hobby evolved into somewhat of a career. It all lead me into tattooing and canvas work but always maintaining my core spray painting approach.
My stuff is a result from a neglected city of my youth, always a reflection of the kid inside I refuse to part with. My thirst to stay young. Vibrant colors and a relentless optimistic point of view
