"...I miss the "old days" in Moscow when we could go wild wherever we wanted...", - Swedish artist Finsta recalls the capital with the same feeling of warm nostalgia and melancholy for the golden years of graffiti. He often visits Moscow, which only increased our interest in his person. For example, on his last visit, the artist showed himself in a new role making tattoos in "
Love Life Tattoo" studio.
The search for new is an important personality trait of Finsta. In the nineties he began to draw graffiti influenced by "
Spraykonst" and hip-hop culture; this allowed him to open uncharted horizons in his work: numerous opportunities for illustration, creating complex murals and simple tattoos.
In 2009, a book published about what was "then"
Finsta art. So we decided to find out what is happening in his life "now" and reflect on the essentials.
