Graffiti artist SUIKO was born in Oita, Japan. He grew up in Hiroshima and the city became the base for all of his artistic activities. Becoming interested in graffiti in high school, SUIKO started painting on walls after graduation. Focusing on letters, his work is expressive and full of bubbling shapes, dynamic line, and vibrant color schemes. Traveling throughout Japan, Europe, and other parts of Asia, SUIKO looks forward to working with artists from around the world whose style and cultural backgrounds are different from his own. These experiences along with calligraphy and Ukiyoe (Japanese woodblock prints) inspired his dynamic Chinese character designs, which have become his original style. SUIKO lives and works in Japan and is considered one of the country’s leading graffiti writers.

SUIKO專於文字,他的作品十分生動,充滿泡泡形狀,動態線條及明艷的色彩設計。他遊遍日本、歐洲和亞洲,書法藝術及「浮世繪」(日本木版畫)啟發了他充滿活力的漢字設計,形成了他的原創風格。

SUIKO在日本生活和工作,被認為是日本首要的一位塗鴉作者。
