About Joachim
Joachim has painted and drawn for as long as he can remember. His first memory of street art dates back to the early 90’s, when at the age of six, he saw an old school graffiti piece in his home city Antwerp. It was on that day that he envisaged a future for himself as an artist. As a teenager, Joachim pursued his dream, attending art school and becoming hugely involved within the graffiti and street art scene, entering a whole new world. It was love at first sight and in the years that followed, he experimented with a number of different styles, drawing inspiration from Pop Art and other street artists. Eyes and teeth were the elements that gave shape to his characters and painting became his life. His studio workplace soon became his second home. Life as an artist wasn’t easy when he started out and so he decided to build his own canvases from materials he found on the street. This unique style eventually became his trademark.
In the relatively short period this young talented Belgian introduced himself into the Belgian street art scene and he managed to conquer a place of his own. With his distinctive style it’s impossible not to notice his work on the street.
