About The Artwork

During my career as a graffiti writer I have undertaken various trips to paint in various cities. But the best trip was definitely New York, the mecca of graffiti, the city where writing was born. I went to the Big Apple in 2003 to paint my graffiti in the city of dreams, where the masters started the great graffiti movement. I took a lot of pictures on that trip. Back home, I selected the best ones to use for a series of stencil paintings. This particular work comes from a shot I personally took from the Manhattan bridge. This shot particularly fascinated me, because walking on the bridge I was fascinated by the lights of the cars passing in the street below. I took a long exposure shot, to accentuate the column of lights of the cars. The work is made with stencil technique, 8 hand-cut levels and spray cans.

Alberto Silva aka "SAND" is a graffiti writer. His career began in 1994, based on the evolution of letters, with which he created his own personal style. Evolving the letters of the alphabet is the main foundation on which the culture of graffiti writing rests and Sand has made it his life's purpose. His graffiti circulated on subway trains throughout Europe and New York City. It is inspired by the founding fathers of graffiti that originated in the Bronx in the 70s.During his thirty-year career, he has developed an obsessive search for letter shapes. Today his letters have taken on personal forms, embodying sinuous and dynamic forms that sometimes reach the appearance of aerodynamics or abstracts. In addition to hundreds of trains and walls, he also painted many canvases. His art is unconventional, but has developed in the streets illegally, with a form of total freedom. His defiance of the authorities was born to show everyone his name, with an irreverent spirit that despises the rules. He is labeled a vandal, but his graffiti is part of contemporary art. Having always been passionate about the classical art of the Renaissance and therefore the statues of the great masters such as Bernini and Michelangelo, he decided to set the evolution of his graffiti letters in marble. This pure and candid material has brought the letters to their essence, as the absence of colors has simplified them in their essential forms, but at the same time has made them eternal.
