Hello My Name Is: Pallo

Name: Pallo
Crew: BFDM & EA
City/Country: Turku, Finland

When did you start writing? Early 2000, but more active after 2008.

What’s is graffiti for you? Firstly having fun, but also therapy and a way to break away from the daily grind.

Influences? Internet and and all within.

Tell us about your city, how is life and graffiti there? Small town with a small group of active painters. I don’t know a lot of painters, but I have few friends to paint with.

What keeps you still writing? You can always learn something new, meet new people and discover interesting places.

What first made you interested in graffiti and how did you end up on that track? I’ve always liked drawing and painting. I remember already as a little kid watching graffiti on my way to the school. Later, I met people who were also interested in graffiti. With them I went to try out for the painting first time.

How would you describe your style? Variable. I get bored pretty quickly repeating the same thing and therefore I often change my style. The current style I have been painting for about a year.

Can you remember the first piece you did? Yes. It was fun, but not worth mentioning.

Future plans? Keep on painting and develop as a painter.

Do you adapt your paintings to the spot/surface? Yes. That’s one reason why I like so much painting. Because the image is also affected by the environment.

If you wouldn’t have started painting, what do you think you would have been doing with all the time? I do not know. I have always painted and drawn that I can not imagine my life without them.

What writers have inspired you? Name list is quite long. But I could not say that all the painters who have done something unusual and infringed the boundaries within the their genre.
