STREET ARTIST EMOL TRAVELS THROUGH THE NORTHEST BOMBING

The Citrus Report has an interview with Emol, who decided to travel through rural parts of Brazil bombing.

Your work feels like a modern hieroglyph, do you feel you are communicating in a different language via your art?

I consider my work as an embodiment from antenna to roots, capturing that which is current, but with a strong link to the past, and with ancestry.

How has your work evolved in your mind? I see that a few years ago you were doing things that resembled throw-ups more than the cleaner shapes you seem to favor these days…

My work develops in different forms because being just a painter doesn't satisfy me. I still do "Throw Ups" because I like to do graffiti in the street. Currently, I do not write my name. I write words that bring people a message more useful than just saying "I exist." I look for something with more meaning that will be easy for people to understand. This is one of my many artistic projects besides painting.
