Vincent stumbled unexpectedly into the art world during the summer of 2017 when extenuating circumstances left him stranded and penniless in the streets of Taormina, a tiny seaside village on the scenic Mediterranean coastline of Sicily. It was during this chapter of homelessness that led him to Kamil, a Polish art prodigy whose success and life took a drastic turn when he fell victim to alcoholism and addiction.
Kamil introduced Vincent to street art but gave him something so much more….
A new purpose to life…..
From that point on art became an obsession, an intrinsic hunger which constantly calls out for creative expression.
Before the two parted ways, Vincent pasted a portrait that he made of Kamil on the back wall of his home, an abandoned storefront in the village center from where he sleeps and collects change from passerby's. The piece is meant to remind Kamil how much he had changed Vincent’s life and that the two will meet again.
Vincent currently studies at Harvard University in pursuit of a graduate degree in the field of Digital Media Design. He aims to fuse the world of artistic expression with technological innovations.
