Art critic's comment
Sergey Akramov has developed his style and mastrered his technique basing on his exprience in street art. In his canvas paintings, the artist applies mixed media and uses spray paint, traditional to graffiti, in a combination with acrylic. In fact, Sergey Akramov's signature at canvases strongly resembles signatures at graffiti painted on the city street walls.
In his artworks, Sergey Akramov rethinks all kinds of life events, relives his impressions of travelling to different countries and shares these experiences with the viewer. Bright and lively colours of his pieces form an atmosphere of positive emotions, which viewers wish to experience again and again.
