Valer Fekete

I’m Valér Fekete-SIOR. I have been drawing all my life but only began my graffiti career in adolescence, although creating street art remains a central part of my life. Painting is my passion- a place of refuge. Every day I try to get out and paint and not just on the street, I paint it all: murals, nurseries, walls, discarded objects, old furniture, windows - anything that crosses my path can become a canvas. I suppose it’s like an addiction and in the past I found the adrenalin and notoriety of being a street artist intoxicating. But now with three children, priorities have shifted as have the messages I try to convey with my work. I’m not a street soldier anymore yet I still love to paint. Literature, history, graffiti, fine art, current affairs and politics all inform my work. Sometimes it seems there is a path already laid out for me to follow and as I do 1000s of images are left in my wake, images that appear to say something to those who view them because they always ask for more.
