OhEnI Objects 

Inspiration: OhEnI finds inspiration within other forms of art. These are primarily composed of the following; architecture, shadows, fine art, constructivism, shapes, color, surrounding artists, and just the odd.

Quote: "Create something from nothing"

Major Accomplishments: OhEnI's major accomplishment include painting walls. OhEnI feels that having his art recognized by a community that understands has been one of his major accomplishments. His fame has been gaining many fans from around the world and he enjoys the love. There still plenty of room for growth in this field, but we sense we will continue to hear more about his accomplishments soon, specially since he is still working on a "major accomplishment."

Why Street Art? The largest gallery space in the world is the streets we walk. OhEnI likes the textures of different walls; each surface is a challenge and some interact different with the paint. Cinderblocks and brick are amongst his favorite types of wall. He also enjoys working on raw concrete.

Obstacles: One of the major obstacles our artist faces is keeping it fresh, and staying up with other current street art. There are simply too many good artists! Even with today's variety of challenges, money continues to be one of the stronger obstacles. As we all know, painting comes with a heavy price tag. Another obstacle OhEnI often finds trouble with are people who don't understand what he does.

Beliefs: OhEnI believes in doing what ever he wants. This includes anyone. Everyone is equal, so make sure you have fun. The more time and effort anyone puts into something the more they will obtain and get out.

Circular Mural

Current goals: One of the major goals is finishing his degree in fine arts with honors at an university.He expects to hopefully spread his work over larger walls and countries. He also plans on getting into doing wall drawings in galleries and further explore abstraction.
