Featured Artist of the Day: Miss Van

Miss Van

"In the early 1990s, I started discovering graffiti with friends of mine, tagging a little bit and following them, taking photos and stuff...Then I wanted to be a part of it...Painting on walls was a way to show that I was boycotting the conventional art world...It also enables me to make my art accessible to a larger public audience.

Graffiti has a very megalomaniac side; instead of writing my name, I chose to represent myself through my dolls...
My dolls convey a provocative image, sometimes a bit erotic. I wish they disturbed and provoked fantasies. I want them to make the viewer react, no matter the reaction, I would like them to make people forget their daily lives."
-Miss Van, from her official website.
