“The best graffiti artists were always doing much more than just writing their names,” reflected the artist in an interview with Savoir Flair. “The really good ones had connections with abstract expressionism, with pop art. They were doing something much bigger.”

According to eL Seed, the really great graffiti artists were much more than just taggers. “And the audience has yet to understand that the best artists could be street artists; street artist and artist are not separate categories.”

Unlike taggers, eL Seed has consciously used his art as a tool of political expression, aiming to spark political change through it. His work, more often than not, underlines his key principles of love, respect, and tolerance. Named a Global Thinker in 2016 by Foreign Policy for his project “Perception” in Cairo, eL Seed has also won the UNESCO Sharjah Prize for Arab Culture in 2017.

“I am a street artist, because I paint in the street. I am a Middle Eastern artist, because I paint in Arabic,” he relayed. “So I’m a Middle Eastern street artist. You always have to prove something. There are several levels of it.”

“My point is to not get rid of that categorization; I know my roots and the roots of my art are the street, and the roots of my art are Arabic, but bringing it to a level where people don’t look at me as only this is the biggest challenge. Step by step, I am trying to work on that.”

Indeed, his work is displayed both in public spaces and exhibitions. Most notably, he has painted on the façade of L’Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris, in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, on the DMZ in between North and South Korea, in the slums of Cape Town, and in the heart of Cairo’s garbage collectors neighborhood.

Last year Odeith stunned his Instagram followers when he transformed an old concrete block into a wrecked bus. He needed 10 hours and 30 spray cans to finish this detailed mural that quickly went viral.

People went crazy over his realistic murals, but the artist hasn’t stopped surprising us with his creations ever since. Other concrete blocks inspired him to create detailed murals of trains, cars, giant insects, and animals.

“Sérgio dropped out of school at the age of 15. Without any school graduation or art lessons, he never gave up, all his knowledge about art was entirely self-taught. After several years painting street murals with the name “Eith”, it was in 2003 that he created the name “Odeith,” reads his official website.

Odeith once said in an interview with Bored Panda that if you truly want to succeed as an artist, you need to be disciplined, dream big, and go after your dreams no matter the cost.

In his work, the artist paints portraits of famous Portuguese people, like poet Fernando Pessoa, writer Antonio Alves Redol and singer and songwriter Antonio Zambujo.

His talent has been recognized both locally and internationally, so Vile began working with big brand names like OPEL, TMN, Worten, Sport Lisboa e Benefica, Portuguese Red Cross, Oeiras, Almodovar, etc. The artist has participated in multiple events all around the world and has held exhibitions in his home country.

“I’ve been obsessed with expressing myself in a visual way since I was very young,” the artist shared with Bored Panda. “Not having the slightest idea of what impact my creations could have on the world, until now. I have seen and felt the influence art can have on this world.”

In just two years Brandrup has worked with big clients such as Google, LinkedIn, Nike, and American Express. He has also had numerous gallery exhibitions through the US.

In his latest project, he created an abstract interpretation of a better world, “a world in harmony, a world of life.” According to the artist, it’s the most important piece of his career, so far.

“I remember when I conceived the idea for this piece,” he added. “I wanted to create an artwork that could somehow change the world. The idea took me long a time to digest. With two years in the making, I was finally able to complete it with little to no sleep for many nights.”
