ONZE DIX
Introduce your self.
I'm OnzeDix, just a guy who loves dogs and writing his name on things.
Where are you from? Origins
I’m originally from Spain. I’m based in Madrid now after many years abroad.
How is the art scene in your country ?
There is a very strong lettering and calligraphy scene here, especially connected to graffiti and many artists move between graffiti, murals and design work. Here in Madrid there is a very active bombing and tagging culture but also strong with murals, throwies and trains… even though the laws are very strict with writers.
Main motivations and inspirations in your artistic development…
My main motivation is my obsession with letters but I’m heavily influenced by graffiti, calligraphy, tattoo culture, big cities, walls, buildings, concrete and the whole urban environment. And for sure big inspiration from local kings and many international writers.
How did you start doing it ?
I used to make music, and when I walked away from it, all that rage and creative hunger was sitting in my head ready to blow. Had to let it out somehow so I guess it came naturally.
Hobbies and interests…
I throw most of my free time into lettering but I love hip-hop culture, traveling, basketball, staying fit, photography, urbex adventures, hunting for cool type and signs and turning anything into a canvas.
Do you consider yourself as a full-time artist ?
I’m not an artist, I just draw letters.
Life goals, values you want to reach…
Main life goal is to find peace of mind in a world of chaos and also keep learning and levelling up my style.
Best advice for new generations…
Eat your veggies and don’t talk to police
