Finok

Brazil  • 1985

Presentation

Finok is currently one of the biggest names in Brazilian street art. Several of his works are in important private and institutional collections in many countries. The signature and characteristic green drawings are easily recognisable on many walls in large cities worldwide, and the subjects painted are closely connected with Brazilian folkloric roots and street culture. His paintings are notoriously large and quite heavy, made with rustic materials and raw pieces of wood in some details, using spray and latex as the primary technique - successful taking the outdoors to the indoors.
