Invited to paint at one of Turkey's most vibrant graffiti festivals — held in the Gaziosmanpaşa district of Istanbul. Four generations of writers. Old friendships rekindled. New connections made. And a roundtable with the Mayor of Gaziosmanpaşa on the role of graffiti as a social force for youth. For me personally, a trip that went far beyond art — back to the roots.
Between two Lamborghinis, under the light of the MAC Museum in Singen, Germany.
Commissioned by Lamborghini Singen, I had the opportunity to create a live art setting in the context of performance, design and space. Part of the canvas was prepared in advance and then finalized live during the event.
What made the evening particularly interesting was the unexpected feedback from guests. Several people independently pointed out the similarity between my visual language and the design principles of the vehicles: dynamic lines, sharp edges and tension within the composition.
A connection I hadn't consciously noticed myself — but one that felt surprisingly natural in retrospect.
More impressions coming soon.
I was invited by BASKE to join the celebration of their 20th anniversary of Combo Hip Hop CulturCentre — a jam that stayed true to the roots of our culture: dance, art & music! Thanks for everything BASKE and big shout out to Team Combo!
Invited by AfK to speak at their 25th anniversary.
Earlier this year, I was invited by the Akademie für Kommunikation (AfK) in Heilbronn — the place where my creative journey began — to speak at their 25th anniversary.
From that moment, a canvas artwork emerged as a reflection on growth and creative evolution.
During spring RUSL was invited to GRAFFLANDs Grand Opening Jam in Zurich, contributing a 4×6 m mural as part of the launch.
A gathering that brought together pioneers and new voices of the scene — celebrating the spirit of graffiti in its purest form.
I was invited to the Street Art Festival in Chur, where I created a custom-built wooden wall installation in the mittle of the city which later one was auctioned.
The concept: the center panel could later be removed and auctioned — and it was. My piece found a new home with a happy collector after an inspiring weekend full of dope murals, live paintings, breaking-battles, talks, and good music.
In 2024, I was invited by Sapolicious to paint one of the bridge pillars at Het Zwielandkabinett (Cabinet of Pillars) in Weert, Netherlands, together with my LoveLetters crew partner Nilko from Paris, France.
Beyond the art, this moment held deep meaning — it was the last time I met our friend NASH, who passed away shortly after.
A day full of colors, memories, and deep connection — the way he would have loved it.
Since March 2014, my studio EMINENT has been initiating and hosting recurring graffiti formats in Constance, Germany. One of these is the Sprühnebel Jam — a vibrant celebration of graffiti culture, legal walls and community spirit.
What started years ago as a live session during the Kunstnacht has evolved into a recurring event format that actively supports and strengthens the local graffiti subculture. The 2024 edition was realized in cooperation with the Cultural Department of the City of Konstanz and the Urban Art Gallery Konstanz.
While this space is meant to last, some moments live in motion…
