My career as a graffiti writer has reached 25 years this year. During all this time I have made my graffiti on the trains of the European metro lines. Especially those in my city, Milan. I have spray-painted various convoys, evolving the style of my letters over the years, to achieve a personal evolution of the design of the letters that are part of my stage name (Sand). I decided to bring back to this canvas part of my research, which over the years has covered the sheets of trains. I then created this work by reproducing various outlines of my most representative pieces, which I painted in the first decade of the new millennium, on the Milan underground. The graffiti is faithful to the originals and is made on the canvas in a spiral sequence, which is intended to represent a sense of continuity and evolutionary sequence. In this canvas my graffiti is represented in a style reminiscent of that of the famous artist Mondrian, specifically to pay homage to him and to accentuate the idea that graffiti is a substantial part of contemporary art.

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.
