Street Art by Victor Ash in Berlin

Location: Berlin, Deutschland
The artist who has created the highest Street Art piece in Europe comes from Portugal and lives for many years in Danish Copenhagen. Has started spraying graffiti in the 1980s. In the early 1990s years he tried to find his own style. It is important to him, that his work reflects his culture and his experiences.

Street Artist Victor Ash


His works are often interpreted as a stencil art, nevertheless, have originated always in own painting. He likes that his works are seen by many people and he creates something that one has a look with pleasure. His works deal with topical subjects and problems, however, without giving answers. The people should make a picture to themselves and question the works.

However, everybody does not like his works. When he painted an astronaut in 2007 in Berlin, foreign people wrote at the bottom: „Is this Streetart?“ But this doesn't stop him. Souvenir shops in Berlin sell meanwhile even T-shirts with the astronaut as a print. Within the scope of the 32nd German church congress the artist painted all four sides of a bunker in Bremen. Four very high people look with binoculars in the distance. The size of these figures should symbolise that everybody would like to be perceived, all the same how big somebody is.
