Spray painter HIZE in the spotlight
Introduction
I began painting graffiti from a young age in my hometown, Castellón. I studied Fine Arts at the Universitat Politècnica de València, but soon focused on my career as a Breakdancer. After many years dancing in the street, i managed to jump into television programs and dance companies, creating my own shows, which would later take me to work around the world. After more than 25 years painting ephemeral interventions in the street, i decided to experiment with my work in the studio. This experimentation is based on the abstract shapes found in traditional graffiti.
Typical elements in your art
My creative urgency is evident, whether on stage or on canvas. Both disciplines, in principle distant, are connected in elements such as movement, which i symbolize through corporal expression or through the arrangement of the letters from which my painting starts.
Let’s dwell a little more on graffiti and street art
The term “Wild Style” has been used in the graffiti world since its inception and has survived to this day. It refers to a way of composing letters making it difficult to read and causing them to intersect. A series of elements are usually added with which a sensation of movement is obtained and that give character to the composition. The result is characteristic and recognizable for its shapes and geometries.
I was part of the elements of the “Wild Style”, abstracting its elements and reinterpreting its symbols. Destructures the codes of classic graffiti, which leads him to achieve compositions far removed from it, but in which its essence can be perceived. Play with different elements, such as a determined chromatic palette made up of vivid colors, the most essential movements of the letters in graffiti and the intersections that are generated in each of these movements. The result is a very interesting and original geometric abstraction.
Your goals for the future
My goal is to develop my own style and compete with myself looking for getting better ideas and results. I want to learn and practice with different materials and technologies to find new ways to create abstract artwork.
Your guideline
Allways create.
HIZE ★ Artist resume
Hize is a multidisciplinary artist, who started experimenting with graffiti and breakdancing from a very young age. Now he is motivated to extract the shapes, colours and energy from classic graffiti letters and turn them into his own version of abstract geometry.
Thank you, HIZE.
