Graffiti & Street Art: The avian graffiti of Luis "Seven" Martins (L7M)
Source
Brazil is one of the graffiti paradises, so much so that in cities like Rio de Janeiro, graffiti artists sign their street works and include their cell phone number in case someone wants to hire them to beautify their everyday environments, whether they are these homes, offices or places of entertainment.
Like any graffiti artist, or at least a good part of them, there is quite a bit of mystery surrounding L7M , L7Matrix, or simply "7", as it is also known. He is presumed to be a Brazilian national, who was born in 1986 and is called Luis Martins. His first encounter with spray paints was at the early age of 13 and since then he began to form, based on experimentation, what today is his personal style and stamp.
His work revolves mainly, but not exclusively, around birds and is contradictory in nature, since it fuses natural elements such as birds and decontextualizes them by making them coexist in harmony with geometric elements and free lines. Its color palette is also characteristic as it is full of life, since it mixes the colors of the bird that it is drawing with intense colors, sometimes even phosphorescent, and neutral tones, especially white.
We can find his works both in French art galleries and on the facades of modest homes in his native Brazil. Currently he is exclusively dedicated to his art, and is one of those artists who found graffiti not only a personal expression, but a way and livelihood. You can see more of his work on his page on Facebook , his account on Instagram and his
website .
