Another iNO mural

Another iNO mural I discovered in the Psiri area.

A graduate of the Athens School of Fine Arts, iNo is best known for his figurative murals created on a large scale. Although he began his career as a graffiti artist in the early 2000s by producing letters and bombing, over the years he has developed his distinctive style characterised by fragmented forms, photorealistic elements and a grayscale colour palette with touches of light blue. His eye-catching, stylised and clever pieces often deal with social and political themes. Using spray paint and fat caps or acrylic paint and water, his pieces imitate the tone of watercolours with light, transparent layers. He uses no projectors, but relies on his perception and his sketching outlines.

'For me, it's not right to invade someone else's property. If it's a public wall, it's different. I don't ask permission because the people who govern our society don't ask permission from us to do things. So why should I ask them?' ... I deal with social themes in my art. Most of the themes represent social stigmas - how humans become slaves of their own creations, be it money or in politics'.
