About the artist:

Alex Martinez, also known by his graffiti name SHINE, is an international artist of Mexican, American and Greek origin, specializing in urban art and graffiti. Illustrator, muralist and studio artist, he has built an international career that has led him to work notably in Greece and the United Kingdom.

Primarily known for his work in London, where he was long based in Notting Hill, Martinez has collaborated with numerous major cultural institutions and events. He was commissioned by Madame Tussauds for the Tupac Shakur exhibition, presenting works in Wildstyle style as well as his iconic bomb aerosol techniques. In 2008, he participated in the international Meeting of Styles event and created several community murals in the W11 district of London.

Pioneer in promoting graffiti as a recognized form of artistic expression, he organized the first two itinerant exhibitions dedicated to graffiti within the Portobello Film Festival, presenting works on canvas and on plywood boards. His famous mural depicting Samuel Beckett, located on Blenheim Crescent in London, has been reproduced on book covers and postcards.

Today based in Athens, Alex Martinez has established himself as a key figure in the Greek urban art scene, particularly in the capital. Thanks to his distinctive style, his commitment to developing urban art, and his active presence on the local scene, he has become one of the most recognized and respected artists in the country. His multicultural heritage, mixing Mexican, American and Greek influences, feeds a rich and authentic body of work that allows him to create a unique dialogue between different cultures and artistic traditions.
