About:
Evgeny Starov is a contemporary artist who works with calligraphy and graffiti tags using mixed media on various surfaces and objects.
Inspired by street culture, the artist's style is a fusion of the energy of street tags, stylized academic calligraphy, and urban landscapes. Evgeny's works absorb the aesthetics of cities in Russia and Europe, where he studied and worked: the textures of building walls, the pace of megacities, and the expression of graffiti culture. It's a balance between residential areas and grand facades, chaos and order, living on the city walls. Textured layers of paint, concrete, spontaneous drips, and flows blend with the charm of abstract expressionism.
Evgeny broadcasts his experience by mixing the aesthetics of street drawing with academic canons of painting and calligraphy.

Education:
Evgeny began his journey with a passion for graffiti and wall painting, which later evolved into a professional education in graphic design. After graduating from SPBGUTD in 2015, he developed calligraphic logos for brands, celebrities, and projects.
After five years of studying design at universities in Russia and Europe, Evgeny returned to his roots in graffiti and transformed his accumulated academic experience and street background into artistic works and projects. His works have evolved from design and font logos to monumental works on canvases and walls.
Simultaneously, he created a large-scale educational project on calligraphy and delivers live lectures. The fusion of academic calligraphy and street culture formed his unique artistic style.
