Void street artist found his artistic style in the representation of abstract faces. He has been fond of drawing since childhood, which was later replaced by spray paint and walls. His works are mostly inspired by his surroundings, travels and the people he meets.

When did your first work hit the streets?

In 1995, I painted my first graffiti on the retaining wall of an abandoned street in Budapest. It was a really bad set. 

Where did the stage name come from?

In the past, I worked much more with stencils and the name was inspired by creating with a cut-out void surface. I liked that it includes the basic shapes: triangle, circle, square. (plus a half circle)

How did your own style develop and what would you call it?

I have loved drawing faces since I was a child. Later I tried to abstract the faces until they were still recognizable. From this came the faces placed in round or oval shapes, which have now become my trademark. I don't consider these to be separate styles. The face is one of the most frequently depicted motifs, many people work similarly to me.

What does a creative process look like for you?

First of all, I like to draw spontaneously, this is usually where my strongest works come from, but as I get older, I plan ahead more and more often and shape my art more consciously. I have many blackbooks filled with thousands of faces, you can really see the process in them.

Who or what inspired you most to create?

A lot of things inspire me, my environment, my travels, the people I meet, the happenings in the world. It would be difficult to list everyone and everything, so I'd rather not do it now. 

What motivates you to go out and create under the cover of night?

Régebben sokkal többet mozdultam ki esti duhajkodásokra, de azt hiszem az egó, az adrenalin és a “mindenhol nyomot hagyni” mentalitás volt az, ami motivált és persze a megfelelő alkohol mennyiség is gyakran kellett az erkölcs fellazulásához. 😀

Have you had any conflicts with the authorities?

Unfortunately, I was lucky enough to think about what the hell I was doing here. Fortunately, it didn't happen often enough to deter future illegality. Over time, however, a person's head will become softer and more careful. 

Do you see street art as a hobby or a livelihood?

Street art will always remain a hobby for me, although I am in a fortunate position because I can say that I earn money doing what I love to do. I would rather call it applied painting, yet I make money from what I call another hobby.

How expensive is it to make each of your works? How can you finance these? 

It depends on the project. Bigger jobs have a bigger financial impact. Spray paint is also an expensive pastime. I am in an easier situation than those who do not have this profession. I usually have enough material left over from my work to use for my own entertainment, so I spend relatively little money on it.

What do you think of street art?

Since I also cultivate, by definition all parts of the genre are close to my heart. It's nice to see works that break the grayness and rigidity of cities, whether it's the sharpest mural painting or just a well-inflated teg.

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

This is a fairly fluctuating phenomenon here, sometimes many people cultivate it, sometimes fewer. Fewer people do it at the moment. However, there are many foreign street art "tourists" and because of this, the city center is full of stickers and posters. 

What is the most memorable story that happened to you while making your work?

When I painted a transformer house on Madách Square. The owner of Keksz asked me to paint something there, because the box was in very bad shape. He didn't ask for a permit from the municipality, so I was forced to paint illegally. The commoners came and asked if I had permission to do this. I told you how it is from the owner. They didn't accept it, so they called the police. When I removed the masking tape from the metal part of the lock in front of them so as not to paint it, it was a sight I will never forget. Of course, they took me to the captain's office and told me that if they weren't called by the public and just walked past me, they wouldn't even produce me.

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

Be open and give a piece of yourself to the world. Don't copy others and don't stop because others say so.

Whom would you like to thank for supporting you in choosing this form of self-expression?

Again, this is a question where I can't list everyone without leaving someone out, so I won't even begin. Thanks to everyone who supported me in this!
