Introducing Spanish graffiti writer LAIA Doing it alone in Barcelona Artist artist Profile IG @iamlaia Location Barcelona ↑ From markers to spray paint and back. It’s all one big creative melting pot for Laia. → When you’re Laia and you have got a wall and some spray paint, then you have what you need to create. ↓ Laia’s graffiti roots are the foundation of her ideas. Cartoon characters merge with clever design and raw street edge. There are many stereotypes in the world. Graffiti is not exempt from this with lots of unspoken rules and regulations. This is why any contemporary adult writer cringes at the thought of defining an artist by their gender. Gender doesn’t predict or define good style. 80 Artists in Focus LAiA
What stands out from the crowd with Spanish born writer and artist LAIA, is not just that she is a talented artist with style and concepts that are engaging and aesthetic. And most of all not that she is fe male. What is noteworthy and inspiring is that she started this whole graffiti journey alone. Not moving in the security of a crew and not paying attention to any limits or constraints that graffiti culture may carry with it. Apart from graffiti, ignoring negative stereotypes is what LAIA does best. This free-spirited writer was born in Barcelona in 1984. Still residing in the city, her interest in graffiti was awakened in 1999. The natural progression from bombing to piecing occurred and before long in 2000, the markers in her tool kit were accompanied by spray cans. The then 14-year-old took to the streets alone as she decided she wanted to »get up«. Artists in Focus LAiA 81
