French artist SONRIEAKA79 painted his first wall in 1998. Self-taught, he decides to explore the world three years later and find new sources of inspiration. Inspired by his experiences in Latin America, and specially in Mexico, SONRIE AKA79 develops a mestizo art between “Bastard art” and “Naïve art”. In 2002 he move to Spain where he currently resides and frequently exhibits. His style is mainly influenced by Graffiti, with a high content of Naïve art. In his own words, his work forms a “Bastard art” full of messages, stream of colors and characters looking for freedom and love.
