ANTHEA MISSY PORTFOLIO 2014 - STREET ART GRAFFITI MURALS
Anthea Missy is an independent muralist based in Brussels and traveling as much as she can to create art since 2014. Her bold style blends in abstract and figurative happy and positive scenes in a unique organic style that seems to flow on walls. Originally a free hand painter, she’s widened her range of skills with stencils, graphic design, social media and video production. Although able to paint detailed artwork at small scale, she’s mainly focused on outdoors art working with diverse materials like acrylics, brushes and spray paint. Some of her achievements for the past 2 years since she's started as a solo artist: - Streetart in Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam, London, Brighton, Manchester, Helsinki, Lyon, Barcelona, Hanoi, Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lampur, Phnom Penh, Shanghai - A mural of 60 m long in Hanoi Vietnam made in 4 days - Helping rejuvenate the old Lake side Phnom Penh in collaboration with Develop Boeung Kak Project - Painting Rooms in Japanese Hotel Ofuro - Group shows in Paris, Brussels, London, and Phnom Penh - Public Live Art - Participation to street art festival Femme Fierce London - More than 60 art videos with Facebook native reach beyond 100 K - 20 k followers on Facebook Progression: Since June 2014, Anthea Missy's developed her unique style by painting on walls and canvas, being able to produce much art on diverse media by mixing ink, spray paint, acrylic paint, synthetic paint, on wood, canvas, plaster, metal, concrete, plastic. In 2015, she's progressively experienced with bigger surfaces extending her work from simple art on wall to deeper wall preparation and creation of a unique universe in a neighborhood, considering the architectural components and audience. In Phnom Penh she's relentlessly practiced with all sorts of walls’ states making her a true muralist. Her work which started with abstract organic shapes has extended to comics pop figurative scenes sometimes flirting with political art with works like 'Love Bomb' a positive work made in Brussels after the attacks. For 2016 Anthea Missy has extended her skills to graphic design with intense training in Photoshop, Illustrator and Final Cut in order to multiply the diversity of media for her art, thus being the sole designer of her art from inception to production. Ever-challenging herself, she's set to create large murals on water in Brussels in collaboration with the community, the port of Brussels and the city to create two murals of respectively 315m2 and 210m2, her biggest project so far. She plans to attend Sliema Arts Festival Malta in July 2016 as well as the Mood Indigo Arts Festival in Mumbai at the end of the year with footfall of more than 100 000 students of India's new generation. She continues to prospect to create large artwork anywhere on the globe. Website: https://antheamissy.com Contact by email for a mural / Design / Performance Project: anthea.missy@gmail.com

- 3. By opening this book, the reality fades for the benefit of an imaginary world filled with colors and with life. Forget where you are and enters to discover the magic of these paints. I walked during long days myself along these pages, of city in town, timeless, in a kaleidoscope colored with curves and with volutes. It was impressive to let me carry by the movement of these thousand circles, loops and hyperboles to guess the hypersensitive sensibility and the sincerity of their creator. By entering in drawings, I also traveled this charming garden strewed with strange flowers, brilliant bushes of love or passion. I inhaled these essences of diffuse but so obsessing feelings. I heard the breath of the silence. I penetrated into the wood and as these butterflies with the multiple arabesques; I passed from hedges to groves surrounded with an unreal sweetness. At the edge of a pond lost, covered with a symphony of water lilies, some unknown creatures made circles in the water. Small waves of love disturbed the surface, for whom knew how to seize them. A vision of beauty where nothing was still. At dawn rising, in the pale light of a vanilla sky, I even met the artist, calmed silhouette haloed with depth of the crystal clear but glittering eyes. And then, when the sky passed in the deep red, the guardian of the garden called me too, to close the book. … Anthea Missy
- 4. Anthea Missy is a rising street artist operating in Europe and Asia who made a fast introduction in the street art world in April 2014. She has since painted in many key cities in Europe and partly in Asia (Paris, London, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Brussels, Hanoi) with artworks ranging from medium to large scale. She is French and operates under her real name, from Anglo-Norman origin, and currently lives in Brussels. From human scale walls to large scale boat in Hackney Wick, or a 60m mural in Hanoi, her creative process stands out with a recognizable style. While intricate compositions of organic patterns and curve spread out in space, movement and minimalism are maintained with a limited colour palette. Anthea is a free-hand painter who likes to improvise on the fly, unsupported by any sketch or stencil. Her art reflects movement, breath, spontaneous energy and connects people with their unconscious emotions. Heavy use of digital technology is another dominant pillar of her modus operandi, dedicated to pioneering the art of live performance as she stretches the ephemeral boundary of graffiti to a timeless multi sensory art experience. Owing to contemporary nomadic lifestyle and expanding social media, she regularly offers people to watch her street live paintings in real time wherever they are and she also produces her own street art movies.

From my window, the garden looked different. Plants and flowers were moving, like water and firefiles were dancing in the shadows. I knew that the creature was invisibly connected to a visual symphony. The Guardian of the garden sat for a while, withdrawn, as grasshoppers and crickets sang all night. In the morning he gathered the garden like a thief and his plunder, and disappeared with a deep red sky. (AM)

- 36. Spontaneous and Lively , that sensation is going above the static dimension of a frozen movement, A move of the soul, diffuse, detached from materiality, Eternal. Pure whiteness of the day , blinding, Is it so bright or the illusion of the truth in the dark? An idea crossed my mind in this complete and absolute peaceful meditation. The presence of the other became apparent. From far but so close, A thought that I undoubtedly felt as mutual. Like a communication door open in between space and time, A flair and beyond everything : a certainty. Sixth sense. Row and accurate in a second. Easily written in a couple of minutes. There is nothing to be tested or proven. And there is nothing to hang on. Just a feel. I embraced my soul, and I jumped out of my bed without thinking about that any longer. I just kept the sweet aerial love thoughts as wings. Life without substance is no life. 'Flowing Soul' 7 am thoughts of love ''Dear Diary, Without any statement, Agitated, restless, All contradictions intertwined, By both ends. I woke up and all was clear. The day light was rising as the night was falling asleep, On thoughts, laid on white sheets. The light burst into dreams of reality, Words, again, the same, Forever, A quest for the absolute, for the truth. Love is vibrating, The breast is moving, The heart is beating strong , accelerating on those thoughts, The mind is coming, eyes see through darkness, Visions of now, and tomorrow, Intensified senses, Thinking forward , and sensing the life of 'tomorrow', under the fingers, laid on the fabric, touching the leaves, colours, and the skin of the waking dream.

- 40. 'In the Wood' When something is going to happen I sense it. A smell, a caress of the wind, Something buzzing in the air in silence or in the middle of the loud croud. Nose up high, nose wide open, you know it's in the air, Someone close is around. Still far from the body, so close to your mind. A magnetic appeal. Invisible for the eyes, still, so obvious for the heart to feel. And the desires dance in imagination, And the ink flows through the paper to make it breathe, And the eye meets the eye, And the earth seems to tremble and shake your whole world. The moment, the magic instant, Like a splinter going straight under your skin. A second, so close, endless understanding. Endless love lost in the moment. For the sake of purity and honesty. No words necessary. A immediate and extra speed blossom of the soul, Turning pink and red and flashing in the dark. It's like the wind, Passing by once and then leaving. That's a connexion. It is perfect as such and consuming it can lead to disappointment. Love is free, live is eternal. Trying to capture the love is like chasing your own freedom, The love is like a flower. It needs to breather and needs delicacy. It needs to remain above the power of words. Because grace is something you sense. That alignment with someone, in silence. And they eyes speak. The same is true with people who don't like you, or with whom you don't fit. But very often hatred is not really natural. It hides a future story or learning, a lesson to receive and use for a better life, for a positive life. Sometimes in the morning I think about things I failed, and I realize how much they taught me how to improve my future projects. Eternal only, the instant of completion.
