El Piti

„I‘m breaking down boundaries between modern and classic art! – My greek ancestors provided mankind with art and musik – a tradition I‘m keeping alive by creating artworks taking its beholder on a travel through time – in which past and present are merging. The title „El“ emphasizes my respect and honour for the spiritual fathers of freedom and of the golden ratio – the foundation of artistic work and reckoning. In this way I project the ancient spirit onto modern day urban architecture.” – El Piti

Vom Graffiti, zur Kunst der alten Meister

In his younger days it was yet possible to admire El Pitis artworks on the urban walls of Hannover. In this era his anxiety for artistic expression increased – thus in the course of time it was not surprising that he developed his skills also beyond the graffity-scene and dabbled in the art of airbrushing. His thirst for knowledge made him go to Los Angeles, where he dedicated himself to Custom-Painting under the special direction of grandmaster Gerald Mendez. El Piti now adopted new spray-techniques and combined distinctive features of different styles. Having succeeded in creating numerous remittance works, El Piti has entered the league of professional artists for a long time – still he did not rest on his laurels and thus incorporated other tools into his repertoire – he therefore also started to carry out his artistic visions within the digital art via graphic tablets. Although he masters a lot of tools and techniques – for El Piti this is only a means to an end. He emphasizes that creativity is most important and essential for his works as a whole concerning their force of expression – regardless whether for digitally designed logos or walls to be sprayed.
