"...keep it simple and match the mural with the sorrounding area." @sainer__ Nov. 5, 2019
⠀⠀⠀
Sainer has been half of graffiti crew ETAM Cru, along with Bezt @bezt_etam.

"The first thing I'm planning is the composition and the colors, and from there I add elements, characters and such. At the beginning, we were trying to have a story for every mural, but then I realized that symbols can be read totally different in different places. Also, there are so many little details and ways of reading an image, that if I tell the story, I might destroy the ways to enjoy the work. So, for me, it's more about the composition. If I wanted to tell a story maybe I'd just write a book." 2017 interview https://www.juxtapoz.com/news/magazine/features/sainer-the-road-to-harmony/

"... Q: Favorite surfaces to paint? A: I really like blue. At the beginning it was my only range color. I wanted to be recognized by my style and my blues characters.
Q: Favorite surfaces to paint? A: Walls, and it always been the case. I learnt do draw and paint on the walls of my bedroom when I was 10.
Q: What or who took you to the world of Graffiti? A: A friend, he first took me to paint with him, it was in Berlin. What I did that day was very bad but I liked it so much that the first think I did after that day was buy spray-paint for a next painting.
Q: How many sketches do you make? A: I draw almost every day...."

Metanoia by Venezuelan artist Koz Dos @kozdos at Forêt Communale de Saint-Brieuc, 9 Place de Luxembourg, 22000 Saint-Brieuc, Brittany, France in July 2023 for @shakeartfest. Photos taken January 2025.
⠀⠀⠀
'Koz Dos titled his fresco "Metanoia," a term used especially in the New Testament that means metamorphosis. It requires an inner transformation following an awakening brought about by someone or an event.' - translated from French https://www.trompe-l-oeil.info/Murspeints/details.php?image_id=104462
⠀⠀⠀
"... While working with graffiti, spray paint, and tags, Koz Dos developed his original style of figurative and representational graffiti, in which he creates imaginary characters that harmonize realistic images with triangular lines and dots. In his work, he paints portraits of people mixed with animals, usually featuring realistic faces inside the animals' mouths. They depict the confrontation between humans and animals in the struggle for survival, as well as a certain level of harmony and coexistence between them." translated from French - https://shake-art.fr/kozdos-2/

Inner Demon - 2018

This is a special piece to me as it represents the inner turmoil and change I was facing at the time. It was done after a trip home to Australia in 2018 and was my first attempt in 20 years or so after a rough freestyle session in Melbourne with an old friend. I returned home hungry to paint again and I had always wanted to do larger scale symmetrical designs and in particular, abstract faces on walls instead of letterforms.
