It was the first time the artist had painted in street space in Russia. (previously, Peeta, also known as Manuel di Rita, painted only in the framework of gallery in our country).
His manner of creating an object is art in itself. Manuel sees an ambient space in a special way: before he begins to paint, he takes into consideration the surface of the wall where he is going to create. Peeta is very attentive to its structure and details, shadows and light.
And when a solution is found he just climbs on a tower and paints without using projectors and other tricks and wheezes. His instruments are a tower, facade paint, colors, brushes, a lot of buckets and a handmade compass level.
As a result, Popova street, which has a lot of Stenograffia works, now is adorned by Italian 3D that goes beyond the walls.
