Farah
This painting is available on Urban Signature Paris ‘s website. I’m thrilled to announce that I’ll be working with Paris-based gallery Urban Signature! You’ll find some of my work on their website and in their parisian showroom. I’ve turned down a few galleries these last couple of years, prefering to wait until I found the right people! So stay tuned!
The word painted here is فرحة / Farah (happiness in Arabic). It’s a word I painted on my second trip to Balata Refugee Camp in Palestine last September. The word was chosen by Yara. ( أختي يارا)

Colores para Petare
Launching ColoresParaPetare !
Along with Venezuelan artist Dagor we have put together a colouring book to raise money for inhabitants of Petare in Caracas, the largest slum in South America.
Download the colouring book and make a donation of the amount you want.
The coronavirus lockdown and this new economic crisis is effecting an already extremely vulnerable Venezuelan population.
In Petare, South America’s largest slum, staying at home means getting no source of income, and therefore no food.
The money will go towards both printing colouring books for the children of San Blas a sector of Petare, and buying food for the families. No one can create art on an empty stomach.

This canvas was a commission for a client.

I want to take this opportunity to thank clients who are enabling us artists to make a living, especially for street artists who’ve seen all their outdoor work cancelled for the next few months. Thank you!
Learn about Vulnerable People Groups
I made an online quiz for you to test your knowledge and learn about vulnerable people groups!
Quiz Here
I’m not going to be able to paint with vulnerable communities this spring because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Let’s make the most of our time behind closed doors to learn about others.
Each question is followed by a short text explaining the answer.
Hope you enjoy it and learn stuff! Give me your feedback!
The picture was taken in Kawergosk Refugee Camp in Iraq.
“Sueño”
“Sueño” (”Dream” in Spanish) is a word that was given to me twice on Share The Word Project (in different languages) : once by Tina, a Cameroonian prostitute in Normandy and once by Sali, an Iranian refugee in Calais, France.
I hope that today Tina and Sali have each gotten closer to fulfilling their dreams!
I had a lot of fun painting this one, making the spray paint spit more than on my usual shading effects

”FURAHA”
“Furaha” is the swahili word for “happiness”.
