Interview with Cisco Ksl by Iva Kanceska 16/01/2012
Q: What made you to become an artist? Did you have an
artistic background growing up?
A: I think the art is a restlessness. I've been always interested in
painting, illustration, comic, music... I grew up in a very creative
family culturally. I used to visit many expositions, museums since I
was a child.
Q: What is your biggest inspiration?
A: Graphically, my inspiration is the photography, old illustration,
traditional tattoo, c-mic, music... Everything seem to be a great
inspiration for sketching.
Q: What kind of tattoos you used to like the most at the
time?
A: I like the American traditional, new school style. Also I work a
realism and figurative on general. I'm not specialist on one style.
Q: To be a creative person means to be open minder,
educated, fun, well balanced etc. At least for me... What is
creativity for you?
A: It is a necessity!



Q: Your style is very colorful and it reminds me of
cartoons, which is so inspiring. Do you find your artwork as your
specialty or a style that you most enjoy?
A: It is the style that I like. But I enjoy with other works too.

Q: Through your amazing portfolio, we can see a lot of
colorful works on skin, on canvas, on walls, really impressive. What
can you say that is your favorite medium? In which one you find most
creative freedom?
A: Yes, on graffiti, and my paintings or drawings on paper is my
real style. I'm free for paint my style. No conditions. On tattoo or
others works, I adapt to the client. I can rarely express the same.

Q: How much time was necessary for you to develop your work
to this great level?
A: I've been drawing all my life. Three years a go I concreted my
work a bit more. But, the art evolution is every day for me.
Q: Do you do custom paintings for sale?
A: Yes, I paint graffiti and canvas for order. And I sell my
personal work on galleries , or direct contact.
Q: Your graffiti art is also amazing. How long have you been
into graffiti? What style is your favorite?
A: I started in 1997. But not regular activity. ON 2007 I started
new to paint graffiti. I love the characters!


Q: Who is your favorite project You've been doing lately?
A: I'm very happy with the last paints on paper. I think is a good
road I struggled to find.


Q: Which are the most interesting experiences with
customers?
A: When the client trust in you. And I have a free style! Is good
plan. But now, is casuality.
Q: Since your style is so well-defined, have you ever
thought to change it and start doing something different?
A: No, I struggle every day to create my style. Is difficult. On
work I adapt to client, and is when I change styles, on the tattoo
or graffiti.

Q: Any tips you can give beginners that are just starting?
A: Work, work ,work ;)
Q: What can we expect from you in the future? Things that
you would like to do and have not done yet?
A: I like to travel in other countries i cities. To work, painting
or exposing them.
