Interview with Cisco Ksl | graffiti & digital art | barcelona 16/01/2012
Hello Cisco! Thanks so much for taking the
time to answer some questions for our readers. Please start
by telling us a little about yourself, and how you got into
graffiti...
Q: What made you to become an artist?
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 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 this type of work as your
specialty?
A: It is the style that I like. But I enjoy with other works too.
Q: You work on many different mediums
such as digital art, print, graffiti, canvas... What 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: Do you work on 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: How long have you been
into graffiti? What is your favorite style?
A: I started in 1997. But not regular activity. ON 2007 I started
new to paint graffiti. I love the characters!
Q: What are the most interesting experiences with
the customers?
A: When the client trust in you. And I have a free style! Is good
plan. But now, is causality.
Q: Since your style is well-defined, have you ever
thought to change it and start doing something completely 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:
Do you have any advice for the new
artists?
A: Work, work ,work ;)
Q: What are some of your feature plans?
A: I like to travel in other countries I cities. To work, painting
or exposing them.
