Slave in a box

Ruben Poncia, born in The Hague in the Netherlands, started his own business as a professional artist in 1996. 

At first he mainly painted large advertising posters for new film or theater productions. This resulted in orders for wall painting, lettering and signage for shops as well as illustrations and cartoons for magazines. 

He also painted acrylic or oil paintings in a realistic or surrealistic style and likes to use perspective tricks. 

When he came into contact with street painting, he was able to use his perspective knowledge in anamorphic 3D street painting. 

Meanwhile, the 3D street painting is his main occupation. He participates in many international festivals and travels around the world for painting assignments. 

For him, street painting is a challenge and a performance. As a street painter you are outside in public and have to create your picture within a limited time. This art is a living illusion that passes as quickly as it arises.
