I like to cut. Stenciling is a technique that allows me to reproduce my images as many times as I want in different sizes and very quickly. It is also a very simple technique that is available to anyone, which makes it a technique of action, of wanting to do, of carrying out an idea.
I like to do something appropriate to the space and for that it is necessary to take measures and generate a spreadsheet that adapts to the place, that takes time. In the process of the cuts I found a kind of therapy, of meditation, like a mantra - something repetitive that at the same time is new - that fascinated me and that I cannot stop doing.

At long last, Serbia just got a great upload to the Stencil Archives, thanks to art historian and sometimes tour guide Srđan Tunić. Srđan just submitted a nice stack of photos, all from Belgrade where he is part of Street Art Walks Belgrade. As always, Stencil Archive appreciates and thrives off of your submissions and participation.
We'd never be able to do it without you!
