“Ioannis_42” started his fascination with art as a need to communicate and to change the urban environment in which he resided. The quickest and most effective way he could achieve this was through street art. From a young age Ioannis_42 saw it as his sole mission to fill the grey and dull urban surroundings with colors shapes and messages. As the years went by Ioannis_42 found new means of expression such as walls, stickers, posters wood, street furniture and canvases. Art as far as Ioannis_42 is concerned is about passion, color and messages. His vision, through his art, is to initiate an effort that will be transformed into a movement and will make a difference culturally and socially.
