L7m - Luis Seven Martins
Sao Paulo, Brazil
is home to L7m (or Luis Seven Martins) a street artist with a huge
following. At five years old he was
given a book of animal illustrations and he started copying what he saw in his
book. At 12 he won an art award at
school and that was the motivation he need to continue his work.
Even though he
listens to music while he paints, he is not influenced by it but rather than by
the city and area that he is painting in. He is more interested in painting the walls of
abandoned cities and would like to paint in the city of Chenobyl. L7m likes to put a little of himself in his
street paintings along with what is happening in the world. Mostly painting birds because they represent
freedom, he also paints humans and other animals.
He likes the
rayonism style and when what the difference was between graffiti and street
art, he says that graffiti uses letters and characters, while street art uses
technique, stencil, spray, collage, mixed media and even canvas.
