Bio
Rinalds born in Latvia, Riga. Early childhood focusing on extreme sports - aggressive inline skating, snowboarding, kiteboarding, and active lifestyle, he began to explore life outside the frames of normal people think. In 2003 he started focusing on one of the hip-hop culture elements rap. First recorded songs under the nickname ''RINIS ONE'' and the first local hip-hop battles took him to Latvian rap artist ''DAF''. With whom he recorded the hip-hop album ''Uzzini Vairak'' in 2009, where was featured by several local hip-hop artists and producers. Parallel to all of these activities he engaged in graffiti scene, cultivating their style and technique become a street and graffiti artist with name Hawk. Living in one of the districts of Riga, where nothing more could be seen as a gray blockhouse, Soviet-era playgrounds courtyards with stray youth groups, I always wanted to make the environment more colorful and interesting, which is also slightly reflected in my works. ''And I want to tell people, graffiti is a form of art and not just a result of random acts of vandalism''. To make money for living playing discotheques in local town bars I began to actively paint not only graffiti in streets with spray paint but already using another method, which led to the first paintings and portraits. The act of painting is like a meditation for me and trip in other dimensions when you can exploring new and exciting styles in a world, it is my freedom flight without any other fictional standards and assumptions. My works reflect the deepest inner emotions and state of mind. I believe each painting has a unique meaning and message from the soul, behind them, which is difficult to explain the words. A lot of my artworks is inspired me by traveling around the world when you can get new positive emotions, jump into adventures and explore new places. The first small achievements do not oblige to stop and work to be like a multidisciplinary self-taught artist where I come from Urban/Graffiti art genre Do Epic Shit. There will always be: a 'Lie' in Believe, An 'Over' in Lover, An 'End' in Friend, An 'Us' in Trust, And An 'If' in Life.
