Mikhaylyuk Maksim

Biography

"Living in St. Petersburg—Russia’s cultural capital—I decided to challenge myself in a new creative direction.** While many spent the lockdown era trapped in boredom at home, I saw an opportunity for reinvention. That’s how I picked up a brush and created my first oil painting.

My passion has always been rooted in graffiti culture, though I’d never before brought my art to the city’s streets. But during that time, an idea took shape: to become a true artist by merging my love for graffiti with classical techniques. My canvas? Vintage vans—bold, rugged, and alive with the spirit of urban art."
