“What people get to see on paper, on canvas, on a wall, or as a finished sculpture, is the end of a very long trip that starts inside of me.”
Street art for humanity
Pejac is an enigmatic artist known for iconic street art pieces, created in various cities around the world. His murals, paintings and sculptures are full of visual metaphors and illusions – playing with scale, dimension, and perspective. His work intervenes in global issues such as climate change, the refugee crisis, and the Covid-19 pandemic. Pejac is passionate about humanity and meeting people where they are – “I am very moved by working in the public space as it is the ultimate form of giving art to people who might have never stepped into a museum or gallery.”
