Which is the best thing to be an artist and
what does it mean to you
to be a street artist?
The best
thing is to feel free to express my self anywhere and anyhow, searching
something who is called me, looking at my cats, to share my art with those who like it, and to annoy those who don’t.

the world?
Mostly Barcelona , Paris

The
best place is the new wall I will fall
in love with.

I want to
do less canvases and more streets.. The next project is an enormous old tv where the 1980 can perform in for “La biennale
du Havre 2013” .
