Canvas and wood panels, specially materials like okume, are the ideal surfaces for creating textured works that evoke the feeling of a wall taken directly from the streets. Their resistance, grain, and physical presence allow the surface to behave like architecture rather than a passive support. For the artist Heliobray, this choice of medium is essential: it allows him to experience the sensation of building and intervening on a wall, but on a reduced, intimate scale. Concrete, collages, several layers of ink and spray paint are choices of the artist to turn this type of creations into something truly memorable.

Within this format, the spontaneity remains the same as in his street graffiti practice. The gestures are immediate, instinctive, and uncompromising. The impact of color, the unexpected encounters between forms, and the almost unbelievable energy that emerges from the surface are all he needs to fully believe in the work. This belief is crucial, it transforms the process into something real and alive. For Heliobray, this journey becomes emotional, tense, and undeniably true.
