Graffiti started for me by by watching first. I'd observe graffiti writers paint and my love for the art grew fast in Plaza Italia, Santiago's downtown area, where the one and only graffiti shop was (Otra Vida).
I followed the wave of graffiti out of Santiago and into other cities within Chile and then outside of South America, and I painted with friends and slowly came to know many great people who were also creating and developing the art. This pushed me and I grew and learned within the medium that has become my life's passion.
Right now I am living in Europe, immersing myself in new experiences, learning and observing. I sustain myself by painting and creating and selling my work to companies. My love for the art has enabled me to be independent and travel the world.
La idea de diseñar bikinis con gráficas de graffiti no es nueva. Ya fué desarrollada en España hace unos años cuando una gráfica del grafitero alemán Can2 fue ocupada por el equipo español de nado de sincronizado en las olimpíadas de Peking 2008.
Esta vez es un norteamericano que produce una línea de bikini grafitero (Graffinis). Su concepto detrás es:
"Graffinis Swimwear began as an idea to combine the urban experience of New York with the style and comfort of modern swimwear. We use photographic imagery taken from the streets of NYC and engineer them directly into the cut of each suit. Our subject matter ranges from the graffitied walls of Chinatown and Soho, to everyday objects like street signs, ATMs and everything else that inspires. That's Graffinis. That's our style. Rock on."
