  My Curriculum Vitae - is always under construction

VINNI KINIKI 31-05-1983

To be specific I am interested in everything. I believe in eclecticism, the fusion of ideas and styles of creation. The power to pick n' mix ideals past and present to come up with ones own systems and beliefs in art and life.

Since an early age I have kept volumes of sketchbooks which have become the foundation of my style which I describe as a fusion of Graffiti, Pop-art, Futurism, Abstract and Expressionism, which I refer to as being Graffadelik or Graphadelic (I’m not sure which spelling I prefer). This art is best created with an audience present, without a plan, large scale and live, a stream of consciousness, a channeling of surrounding energy.

I constantly look to re-invent ways of creating visually and I really enjoy the challenge of making custom pieces and working alongside other artists. I am open to challenges and suggestions, so if you have something in mind call me, I am interested in illustrating magazines, books, tattoos, murals etc.

My work is personal and contains meanings but I’m more concerned whether people like it or not at face value.

As a Dj and producer I’m interested in writing music that’s friendly enough to dance and relax to but interesting and experimental enough to be recognised as forward thinking. I am interested in finding new rhythms and sounds that have not yet been heard to include in my compositions
