Interviews

Urban art took on new meaning during the COVID-19 pandemic: while traditional cultural systems ground to a halt, street art continued to be present in urban spaces. It was in this context that the Urban Art Association Te8 was founded, not merely out of inspiration, but as a conscious response. The founders recognized that an isolated artistic presence was insufficient to achieve a genuine impact, so they created a structured yet free and original form of operation.

Wanda Hutira is one of those artists for whom the city is not merely a backdrop, but an active partner in dialogue. Using murals, illustrations, and experimental visual techniques, she creates images that respond both to their surroundings and to the stories of the people who live in them. Her works are often based on small observations of everyday life and social and psychological issues, while her unique technical experimentation—from "impressionistic" distortions created with a paint roller to typographical references—creates a unique visual language. With more than a hundred murals behind her, Wanda Hutira now not only paints pictures on walls, but also initiates quiet conversations between the city and its people.

Refleks first picked up a spray can in 2009, and since then he has been consistently developing the style that many people now recognize immediately. In this interview, he talks about the thought process behind his name, his obsession with thin, precise lines, his open ambition for fame, and his view of the current state of the domestic and international graffiti subculture. Travels, iconic locations, strong opinions, and clear messages—Refleks doesn't explain, he reflects.

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.
