About Me

MINTO: London, United Kingdom; Minto began life in Edinburgh before moving to central Bristol during the early 80’s and started painting in the late eighties. His artistic influences come from the early pioneers of global graffiti, Anime, Retro Synthwave and abstracted artforms. ‘MINTO’ has developed a personal painting style combining elements of abstract and impressionist theory with freestyle graffiti, that employs imagination and instinct without the use of preliminary sketches. “To freestyle is to learn at speed and not to worry about over or underworking a piece,” he says. “I instinctively make marks of varying speed well into the piece, leading to a more considered, deliberate approach towards the end. Understanding the relationship between neighbouring tones and exploiting the frequent accidents that occur help me to steer the piece. “People often come up with many different interpretations of my work when they examine it - and I hope each piece inspires playful, energetic discussion between them all. Enjoyment of the intrigue that this style offers, I think, is the key to its longevity.”
