RekaOne, is an Australian street artist. Coming from a creative family, he’s quickly attracted by graffiti that he discovers by taking the train each day to get to school. He explains the birth of his passion, especially driven by his taste for risk, and his evolution to the quest for a unique style.

The origins of the style he developed for over 15 years, relies particularly on its classical influences. Known for his Street art but coming from the graffiti world, he gives us his opinion on these two movements between which there can be friction.

Reka closes the interview by explaining the importance of experimenting in his art because, in his view, it is the only way to expand and evolve. It is also a message he gives to the young generation of artists among other advices.

He is mainly known for his highly polished and stylized photography. Working exclusively with a Hasselblad camera, he creates entire sets to compose atmospheres and worlds out of his fantasies.

He started his career as a journalist and after a trip to Paris where he met the work of Pierre and Gilles or Yves Klein, he fell in love with art. The cinema of Visconti, Antonioni and Pasolini was also a great influence for him as well as the Neue Deutsche Welle and the work of Werner Herzog and Fassbinder.

Later on he was introduced to the famous choreographer Hans Van Manen who showed him the work of Robert Mapplethorpe, Joel Peter Witkin or George Platt Lynes. This is when he started to build his own knowledge and took it as a root to his own style.
