For Angel Twosix, graffiti was never a question, but rather a state of being. Not an explanation, not a message, not a statement—but a commitment. To letters, to creation, to that inner urge that was there long before it had a name. In this interview, he does not build a legend, define graffiti, or try to explain why it is important. He simply explains what it means to him: a source of joy, community, constant renewal – and a game that sometimes burns you out, yet you return to it again and again.

How long have you been painting?

Since 1994, I have known that when I paint letters on walls, it is called graffiti, but even before that, I drew letters everywhere, on a smaller scale.

Where did the stage name come from? 

The best-known one was suggested at a house party by someone who wanted me to pay more attention to them, but I liked the letters, so I started using it and never stopped. The other names came later, from here and there, and stuck; some have been passed down ever since. 

How did your style develop and how would you describe it?

I have always tended toward more complex compositions, and I like to add lots of tiny details to the letterforms themselves. I like to experiment, which is why what I do is both old and new. 

What inspires you to create?

Enjoying creativity, an idea, music, relaxation, when we. 

Is there a graffiti group you are a member of?

DCK, ALL CAPS, ASM, and a bunch of others that we don't use as much anymore, but sometimes they resurface from the depths.

Illegal or legal painting? 

Painting, where I can, the rest is a matter of detail.

Do you see graffiti as a hobby or a livelihood?

As a source of joy.

Has there ever been a part of your life that made you feel like putting down the kettle for good?

No, it was just that I didn't have the time or energy, but I always miss it when I'm not doing it, and every few weeks I make a pencil drawing, which is always a little different. 

What would have happened if you didn't grab a can at the time? What would you do?

I don't know, maybe it's better this way. I'd probably earn more, or I'd be long gone. Anyway, I'm a graphic designer, so my job is also a bit of a hobby, and I also play music in clubs and at the ALL CAPS store when I get the chance, so that could have been another string to my bow, but it's always there with me anyway. 

What do you think about graffiti?

I love it, for itself, for us. I never wanted to explain it, just do it. I grew up with it, I often got burned because of it, but that's just how this game is.

How do you see the current situation of subculture in Hungary?

It exists, it's not very strong, but it's diverse, and we try to keep it alive, to breathe life into it. Fortunately, we're not alone in this; younger talents are always coming along with fresh energy, so we've got plenty of time before we have to bury it.

What do you think graffiti can offer the world and people?

I don't care, I'm doing it for ourselves, for us, and for everyone who loves it.

Your most memorable blow?

Step out of the Arena – Eindhoven (maybe in 2019). We created a colorful set with an international lineup, most of whom are my personal favorites, and my drawing with the legends is still up on the main road opposite the stadium. Of course, the Meeting of Styles series may be similar, but I was part of the organizing team there, so it's different.

What has this subculture given you over the years?

Friends, experiences, renewal, and nostalgia all at once. It has been around me since I was little: first, it was just music and music videos, then I became a participant and builder in several areas (among other things, with the Sample Temple radio show on Tilos and the collective, we try to give a lot), which I still consider to be very magical to this day. 

What would you say to those who are just getting to know the genre?

Immerse yourselves in it and find your joy! 

Who would you thank for making you stick to your art?

Basically, I don't see it as perseverance, but rather as persistence, despite everything, but I am very grateful to my friends here and beyond, to all the inspiring writers, and to my family, who did not disown me. 😜
