SOLOMOSTRY, IT

SOLOMOSTRY was born in Milan, 1988. Solomostry, which means "only monsters", is both his alias and the main character of the artist's artworks, a monochrome monster composed of lines with imposing and staring eyes. The artist graduated in Graphic Design & Art Direction and works in his studio in Milan. In Solomostry’s artistic practice the streets represent the place where he discovered a unique form of art as well as a kind of playground where he dares to try new techniques, tools and ideas without any rules. To be free in the streets means a lot to him, whereas in the studio he reflects and digests what he has experienced and tries to implement and manifest it in his studio-based paintings.

Solomostry’s draws his inspiration from really everything that attracts his attention; it could be the streets, its inhabitants, friends, loved-ones and rivals. He is convinced that, traveling, information and sensory experience are the sources of inspiration – being always continuous.
