RECLAIMING ICONS.
DISRUPTING THE FAMILIAR.
Sintek creates layered visual narratives that live between street culture and art history. His work reclaims recognizable images, classical portraits, childhood symbols, cinematic figures and disrupts them with raw painted gestures, splashes of color, and bold interventions that feel both playful and confrontational.
Each piece carries tension: innocence against rebellion, nostalgia against raw expression. Ornate, hand-painted frames are an integral part of the work, extending the composition beyond the image itself and making every artwork and frame entirely unique. Historical references are contrasted with drips, stencils, text, and contemporary iconography, blurring the line between what belongs in a museum and what belongs on a city wall.
Built through layers of acrylic inks, spray-based techniques, pigments, markers, and resin, the surfaces feel alive—textured, imperfect, and unapologetically bold. These works don’t aim for quiet contemplation; they command presence, shift the energy of a space, and invite viewers to reconsider what they think they know.
