Sponk’s art is more than just colour on a surface – it is an adventure, a mirror of his soul and a journey into unknown worlds. Every line, every colour, every structure tells a story, inviting us to pause and feel the magic of the moment. Driven by the pursuit of perfection and his love of detail, a deep fascination with nature can be felt in each of his works – its shapes, colours and secrets flow into his creations and bring them to life.
Graffiti is Sponk’s voice in the urban world – powerful, bold and vibrant. With every spray can, he brings movement and energy into the space. Whether on bare walls or on canvas, his works tell stories of freedom, rebellion and the infinite diversity of life.
With his graffiti airbrush technique, Sponk goes one step further and combines precision with dynamism. The subtle transitions he creates lend his pictures an impressive vibrancy. It is an interplay of technique and emotion that casts a spell over the viewer.
The art of spray cans unfolds an unrivalled energy and dynamism. With this method of painting, abstract graffiti fully utilises the potential of this powerful medium. Splashes of colour, sweeping lines and impressively precise colour gradients merge into spectacular and multi-faceted colour compositions. Particularly noteworthy are successful series such as ‘Take a Smile’, which epitomise the versatility and radiance of this technique in a unique way.
The abstraction of the letters took centre stage for the young artist. Strong contrasts meet dynamic lines and lively, fruity colour gradients. Letters that were far removed from natural models created an aesthetic that clearly stood out from traditional art.
This creative field of experimentation offered Sponk endless opportunities to discover new things and develop as a graffiti artist. In particular, the variety of graffiti styles, from classic throw-ups to complex wild styles, inspired him to constantly try out new techniques and forms of expression.
In his acrylic paintings, Sponk captures emotions that lie dormant deep within him. His expressive painting style offers a balance to the precise, concentrated graffiti works, which require a different kind of focus. Impulsive thoughts guide the brush and create dynamic landscapes that are full of movement and vibrancy. Each of his canvases becomes a window into another dimension, a powerful interplay of luminous colour contrasts that invites you to dream.
Sponk’s murals, large-scale wall paintings, are a way for him to transform public spaces into oases of inspiration. They become impressive murals that change the surroundings and fill them with new energy. Each work of art tells its own story and gives the cities a completely new character.
With the ‘Magic Mushrooms’ series, Sponk is returning to his roots. At the beginning of his graffiti career in 2005, he discovered the mushroom as a symbol for himself – a fascinating living creature that stands at the beginning and end of the life cycle. Mushrooms, creatures from another world, embody Sponk’s passion for the unusual and the unknown.
Vivid Liquids are an expression of the power and beauty of nature – flowing, unpredictable and yet harmonious. The colours seem to move, merge with each other and form breathtaking colour landscapes. Chance plays a decisive role here, as Sponk paints hand in hand with nature and allows its unpredictable beauty to flow into his works.
