"I started at school with classic hip-hop graffiti, but then I started experimenting more and more with all kinds of street art," he says. - Now I like to play with space and objects. I am inspired by the places themselves. I like to explore the city and find interesting places. I usually create my works pretty quickly - sometimes in less than an hour. But it all depends on the size of the object and the imagination." In the photo: the tower-man in Perm.
"They call me an underground artist, but if you do street art, is it underground? You are already in everyone's sight, even if you are painting near an ordinary trash can, and only a couple of homeless people see your work. This is public art. It would be nice if people started paying more attention to what is around us." In the photo: Zubastik in Yekaterinburg.
Nikita treats his walls with faces as if they are real people with feelings. "I don't know what my favorite is. I don't want to offend any of them by singling out any one. Because these walls are alive. I love them all!" In the photo: Fire in the eyes, Nizhny Novgorod.
