Original artwork description:

My name is Christos Kakoulli also known by my artistic name CRS. I am a 29-year-old stencil artist and I am from Nicosia, Cyprus. I make my paintings with Handmade and Hand cut stencils then I spray-paint the stencils on any surface I want to work on. I try to give my paintings a photorealism work, and often I use sensitive thin paper so I can draw and cut all the details that I want. It is a unique and demanding process that I love to do. Also, I do street art with my stencils and the media have a lot of interest in it. A lot of people call me the "Banksy" of Cyprus. I met Banksy when I traveled to Bristol for the biggest street art festival in the world with name "Upfest". We discussed art and the paintings of the festival and he told me that he liked my painting on the walls of Bristol. I named my last technique "Γκριζόχρωμα(grey color)" because I create a colorful background with my spray paint and brush and stencils and then my main subject is a grayscale one. My inspiration comes a lot from social pathology. My paintings are about refugees, war, peace, and what other social pathology means. I also do portrait paintings and other stuff that I find interesting to paint. Furthermore, I have in my possession 3 world records, a lot of international awards, and awards in Cyprus.
