The graffiti painter Rafael Sliks was born in São Paulo in Brazil. Writing is his art. Writing is his way to express, denounce, communicate and create beauty. All his graffiti can be seen in São Paulo’s streets, exhibitions in Miami, Berlin, Taiwan and many other places.
Sliks’ artistic universe reflects the tension between the physical chaos present in urban areas and the spiritual introspection he experiences in nature. Both being his main sources of inspiration, Rafael Sliks’ art seeks to harmonize and reconcile cities and nature in a single movement, mixing the colors and vision of nature with the ultra-fast movements of his graffiti skills, and vice-versa. The art of Rafael Sliks originates in graffiti for which he has developed a renowned style made of fatcapped tags and throw-ups. His indoor work is fueled by colour, repetition and overlapping tags, creating visual enigmas and infinite expanses of universe.
