Artists_OS_Gemeos

I discovered these two artists at Moca's Art in the streets a while back and am a total fan. Their work is so playful and creative. Here are some images I found online of their work and some thoughts from the artists. For those of you who don't know them here is your introduction to two great artists that are making a splash all over the world. I will definately be on the lookout for upcoming shows.

 Q: When did you start getting serious about your own style?


" It's funny, sometimes the word "style" is a limitation, for example, you have a style and that's it, sometimes people who can't draw or paint have more style because they have never drawn before. We always draw, we always try to be ourselves, to develop our drawings, at first we copied other artists we liked, our older brother Arnaldo draws and our mom too, they always influenced us, we grew up watching our brother draw and he never worried about style, we think its a natural thing, you are born with it, you can perfect or kill that inocent part of your style, nowadays our style is a mix of everything we like. Since we were young we took drawing very seriously its funny to arrive at this point and realize we are born with a certain style. One day our friend Speto said you take everything you like about other artists, mix it with your own, and this blend is the beginning of your own style. That's what we've done, and it helped us."

"We think everything influences us, not just from graffiti, but things we see everyday, what we see and hear, things from the city, even more so a city like São Paulo, totally out of control. We see things which force us to act, we can't just sit in front of the tv or take our dog for a walk in the park..."
