INTERVIEW WITH VANDL:

Journalist:
Why paint a single word per canvas?

VANDL:
Because one word is enough. Everything else is noise.

Journalist:
Why the drips?

VANDL:
Because nothing stays intact. Everything moves. The word stays.

Journalist:
How do you choose your words?

VANDL:
They strike me like a punch. If they stay with me, then they deserve to be painted.

Journalist:
Your art has moved from the street to collectors’ walls. What does that change?

VANDL:
Nothing has changed. The word remains the same. The impact too.
I paint wherever I want, as I want.

Journalist:
Why refuse to be recognized?

VANDL:
Because art does not need a face.
A word does not need a name.

Journalist:
What impact do you want your work to have on people?

VANDL:
I don’t want people to overthink it.
I want them to feel it.
To take the shock of my word straight to the face.

Journalist:
One last question. Where is VANDL headed?

VANDL:
Ahead of himself, until there is nothing left to say.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST:

No one really knows who he is. Some say he comes from Paris, others place him in Barcelona, or perhaps Berlin.

His artistic approach: the word as visual explosion

VANDL does not paint images. He does not tell complicated stories. He hits with a word. One single word.
• A word written at the top of the canvas, like a scream.
• A word that flows, refuses to be clean, refuses to be fixed.
• A word that asks for no explanation.
You feel it, or you walk on.

One thing is certain: he has left his mark everywhere.
His early works appeared under bridges, on the dirty walls of cities, in places society prefers to forget. Raw words, dripping with rage and truth, leaving trails behind them, as if the word itself were crying or bleeding.

From streets to galleries… no compromises

Each painting is a contained explosion, a silent manifesto that speaks directly to the viewer.

He never appears in public. He continues to place his works in the street, in secret, as a tribute to his roots.

No one knows where he will strike next.

VANDL is elusive — a street art phantom, a poet of urban minimalism.
