SMILE161. SMILEIvo Santos was born in Lisbon in 1985. From a very young age he was interested in drawing, driven by his mother, it was through two cousins that interest turned into passion. In the 1990s, through the film Beat Street and the sounds of Vanilla Ice, Kriss Kross or MC Hammer, discovers the love for Hip Hop Culture, embracing Graffiti as the following strand. At the beginning of the new millennium he risks spray painting for the first time, using the pseudonym SMILE, with cans from a hardware store. Not obtaining the desired result, he dedicates the following couple of years to perfecting the technique and materials. In 2001, when he returns to the streets, he immediately demonstrates his talent, winning the Odivelas Graffiti Contest the following year. From there, several interventions arise, mostly for the Ramada Parish Council, where he lived. Its national projection takes place in 2004, when virtually unknown to the community in general, it categorically wins the Oeiras Graffiti Contest, the most important event on that date. This is followed by second place in 2005 and 2006 revalidates the title, cementing its name in the Portuguese artistic elite, reaching international status in 2009, by winning a contest in Barcelona, against consecrated names in world graffiti. The decision to professionalize his art brought him works for such distinct entities as Nissan, Mc Donald's, Billabong, Red Bull, among many others, as well as the sponsorship of Casio G- SHOCK, Sollac Tintas, NEW ERA, Monte Campo and CANON. It also became a regular presence in reports on urban culture in general and graffiti in particular, both on the four main television channels in Portugal and on radio and the internet. High point of his activity as an urban artist obtained it in 2013, where his intervention in the gable of a building in Loures, portraying a young man with a complicated medical history, generated a wave of media solidarity that resulted in the resolution of the problem. The "Bartolo" mural will forever be referenced as a case study of how urban art can help solve social dramas. The internationalization of his art has been taking place, with invitations to participate in events in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Malta and Brazil. At the same time, he created the First Art Atelier&Gallery, a space open to the public, and which serves as a place for exhibition and presentation of projects (visual and/or sound) of national and foreign artists. He is currently the President of ACUParte, a Non-Profit Cultural Association, which aims to promote and energize Urban Culture throughout the country, through experimentation, innovation and development in Visual, Performing and Sound Arts.

El Rey de la Ruina167. El Rey de la RuinaEl REY de la RUINA, in English: "The King of the Ruins" is the pseudonym and manifesto of an artist born in Barcelona, but who has lived in Madrid for more than 15 years. Through graffiti and painting in public spaces he shows us a personal vision of society, full of iconic images that, through repetition, are inserted into the retina of the passerby and become a vehicle for acidic and poetic messages. Plastically, his work is a collage of styles, plots and primary colors in vibrant combinations. In his graphic and mural work, the floral motifs, hearts, hands and symbolic objects tell us endless stories, sometimes of protest and rage, sometimes of poetry and inspiration. With clear and powerful drawing work and lines, a high-contrast color range and a series of vibrant geometric games and compositions, the artist plays with the musicality of the image while working with inspiring and ironic messages and conceptual games on the public space, contributing to all kind of new thoughts, discussions and conversations to the walker and society. In his own words: I believe that my work works on two levels, an optical level close to op-art and a conceptual level, close to Pop art or even Punk, in which the important thing is the message and the provocation. The visual part has something lysergic and psychedelic and connects with surreal and fantastic thinking, it captures the eye and hypnotizes with the vibration of the colors, it has an acidic flavor, which can almost be noticed on the tongue and palate, like a bauble that traps you in a world of wonder that is actually a trap. This trap becomes evident when you become aware of the physical and material part of the image, let's say that the realistic and critical part punches you in the face, as if you had fallen through the burrow hole to hit a wall of reality.

Zmogk169. ZmogkKonstantin Danilov aka Zmogk (b.1979) is a painter and muralist from Moscow. Currently live and work in Athens, Greece. He was one of the pioneers of the burgeoning graffiti movement in 1990s Russia, and the experiences of working with color and shape in urban space still inform his work. Zmogk's art is defined by bright, vibrant colors, dynamic and rather chaotic compositions, often sometimes covertly including landscapes, his iconic robot character and human silhouettes. As a painter, I am studying the psychology of color to trace how color affects a person's emotions, their general psycho-emotional state and, consequently, their quality of life in general and the environment around them. My paintings are suspended between figuration and abstraction, committing to neither completely. This seesaw between recognisable and formless parts of a painting creates a deeper engagement for the viewers, inviting them to reconstruct the past actions and processes that defined the current state of the wall or canvasThe artist’s style is quite universal and can be successfully applied for large-scale murals, canvases, and commercial projects. His works has been shown and collected worldwide, including: New York, San Francisco, London, Lisbon, Paris, Copenhagen, Bangkok, Berlin, Hong Kong, Geneva and Moscow

Ninjart172. NinjartFrancesco Spanò, born in 1984, resident in Livorno, known by his pseudonym “NINJART,” is an eclectic street artist and painter who has been active in the graffiti scene since 1998. He began his artistic career as a writer, and soon turned his passion into a profession, creating commissioned works for public and private entities. During his school years, where he graduated with honors in Painting from the F. Russoli Art Institute in Pisa, he began to move into the contemporary art market, presenting his paintings in solo and group exhibitions in many Italian cities, entering various national competitions, and often winning prizes and important awards, such as in 2008 when one of his works became part of the exhibition at the Museo della Permanente in Milan. The constant in his work is an instinctive passion for everything that allows him to express a contrasting and complex inner world, studded with the dreams of youth, but also with more mature awareness. From dreamlike visions bordering on original surrealism to splashes of color in the most classic of action painting settings; from comic book graphics and pop art to symbolic visions of clear Eastern origin; from pure explosions of color to evident memories of tachisme, to naturalism inspired by the classics; from a sort of composed hyperrealism to the purest graffiti: these are the areas, the territories of Ninjart's experimentation.The icons of his myths multiply, mix, and integrate in continuous linguistic and cultural contaminations, forming compositions characterized by the intense and sometimes whirlwind dynamism of signs and colors. it is a mixture of different styles and languages, assimilated and reworked with a decisive personal imprint and a clear, determined approach, where jazz and hip hop music often influence the image represented or the very meaning of the work. Therefore, even today, it is an ongoing research project, characterized by authenticity of intent and mature discipline of method, charged from the beginning of his artistic career with sincere and pure love for art.
