b. is the father of thisismybworld, at the frontier of naive art and urban graphics. There’s something fresh, different, in the work of this Athenian artist, made of yellow and black colors, of arctic princesses or lost sirens bringing life back among the forgotten spaces of the city.

1/ Who’s behind ThisismyBworld ?

Me! My name is b. and “thisismybworld” is my creative universe.

2/ Tell us about your creative fields ?

I work as an architect and street artist.My work and inspiration fields are in a close relation with the urban environment.

3/ Watching your stuff, it seems you have major influences from primitive/naive art + graffiti arts. How did you build/reach your graphic universe ?

I grew up as a graffiti writer so before i started thinking as a designer, i was already working on my style in a way.That influenced me later in every way i was creatively expressing my inner thoughts.

4/ I could not help thinking of people like Keith Haring, Speedy Graphito, Basquiat, or even Murakami when watching your art.
How do you compare with that kind of artists ? Are you targetting a designer career (doing design for client’s need) or living like an artist selling your raw art ?

That kind of artists were totally influencial for me. It was definitely graffiti and pop art the first images that captured my eye sight.

Everything excites me now. Architecture,design,painting,graphics and my last passion food design. A typical day of mine can be a mix of designing a chair or planning a floorplan to painting on the street or exhibitions.

5/ You’re from Greece, but watching your work, we could think you’re living in a place like NY or London, among designers and trendy places. Since you’re into urban art, what’s the role of your living place according to your production ?

Athens is an ideal city for urban art,since it is chaotic and offers a big variety of abandoned buildings(the places where i usually paint).As a young architect and designer i can see that things are evolving in Greece.
