Escif interview & show
There are many different artists I admire all over the world; Blu and his awesome murals, Herbert Baglione’s elegant and big paintings, San´s crazy drawings, Hello Monsters shiny and mad installations are just some to mention. I have lot of respect as well for many different artists that don’t work in street art, like Mauritzio Cattelan, Santiago Sierra, Felix Gonzalez Torres, as many others. In Valencia generally I work on my own, but I also enjoy working with On_ly (as well with other members of XLF), with DOCS (Graffilia), and recently with Hyuro.”
