This unusual juxtaposition between realism and cubism enhances the emotional element of every piece, as the emphasis is put on the topics’ stirring sayings – like a Picasso painting.

To make each -inspired function of art, Belin utilizes just spray paint, oils, and pen. So as to fully showcase his “spray abilities,” the artist foregoes stencils to get a freehand technique.
