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

Graffiti exploiting the natural environment as such: dirt,
trees and leaves, game of light and shadows.
Unlike my past works which were designed on plain white,
grey or black foundation, I chose to preserve the natural
Thai wall patina composed of greens and greys resulting
from humidity, foam , pollution and overall: time. In my
opinion, keeping those urban specificities make the work
look more authentic and locally specific, and the pattern
look more organic, like it would have grown naturally on
the wall by itself.

This morning I felt an angel.
I woke up with the rising sun,
And as serene the morning was , my #soul was.
No ghosts anymore, clarity was glowing bright.
There's a coral heart surrounded by trashes.
Did it turn from true red to fade copycat?
Because the trashes were so dark, that timid red heart became bright.
Because there was so much vinegar, honey tasted lesser than a sweet thing.
Because the heart that beats outside is well hidden under a blanket,
Because the trashes always surround hearts.
Because...
Because ...

I painted miss bloom today on a large grey wall. Illegal work, simple
means. I still made time to make a nice white background.
Does it make sense to paint a smiley character in the middle of a dusty
grey environment ?
I think it is a quick work that is contextually relevant because the
happiness stands out in the middle of darkness.
If legal I could have made it sophisticated and worked on a richer
composition.
But once you get 30m to execute something like that, you go to the A guy
said to me : you draw like children. At some point I take it as a
compliment.

I do not pretend that piece is the artwork of the century . However it is
clear that this long wall of grey attitude was boring before she popped on
it like a flower growing and coming from apparently nowhere.

'Shakti Esperanza' part 2 of my new graffiti
mural in street 84 Phnom Penh - 11m x 3.5m.
While scrubbing the wall a substantial old and
unstable piece of it fell apart. I love the brick
hole effect integrated as an organic shape in
the composition. For me another aspect of
working outside is to use the natural
elements as such without looking for too
much perfection. In my opinion, it adds some
character and authenticity - similar approach
than in Bangkok where I used the mossy wall
as background with the shade of the leaves.

as background with the shade of the leaves.
From the brick color derived the choice of
ochre yellow, as slightly faded shade to go
with that vintage patina-inspired style.
The presence of natural elements such as
water or trees around the wall is certainly an
important characteristic in my painting
scheme, as well as an open sky.

39. [1]Techniques - spray paint and introduction of liquid paint use
I feel super happy to have taken time to mix colors and managed to make a clean work with a
brush. I started that new practice 3 months ago and it took me more time because I was not
used to the brush. However, when I came to Cambodia, I knew I wanted to progress in my art
by exploring things I did not do. I am happy of that self imposed training. The use of liquid
paint is interesting as it helps me get sharp lines and I like that clean aspect. On the contrary
the spraycan effects slightly irregular and with air effects gives more movements and temper
to the artwork as it reflects the speed and impulse of the moment. I like spontaneous
expression, instinctive, defined and free. And I also like to add more sophistication and
control to the piece with the brush work. Because I was slow 3 months ago I really had to think a lot of what I was doing with a brush in
one hand. Now, after 3 months, I can feel that instinctive sense of expression I have with a spraycan can be transferred to the brush as I
am faster. For me mixing liquid paint techniques and spray paint techniques gives a balance as an experience for myself between theam faster. For me mixing liquid paint techniques and spray paint techniques gives a balance as an experience for myself between the
aggressive energy of letting my hand draw large curves with a spray can and making more time using a brush in silence and with an
almost meditative and sleepy mindset. People see a picture.
For me it is more about the overall experience painting a piece whether it is fast or slow, complex or
more simple. With that painting, it is the first time I enjoy sitting and watching it for long minutes,
because I really feel something good and vibrant in it that does not interfere with any tortured feelings
that an artist can unconsciously transfer in one's art. It is very important for me to be in a great spirit
when I paint, because I deeply believe that the way I feel will be felt in my art. I want to give the best in
it, I want people to feel good and find room for their own heaven to breathe when they look at a mural
I have painted. It does not belong to me anymore. It is given to people, like a flower to be smelt by
whoever wants to, in a public garden.

40. [2] inspiration
I explained in my video published on Instagram and youtube that I am
very inspired by abstract things.
More importantly and despite my very realistic personality, I can see
things into things, see an image in an image that does not exist or a
character in a shadow. My imagination does not need any drug to go
there. For me it is a new thing I want to explore and requires a more
methodical approach to be expressed in one image... However coming
from deep quick instants where perceptions just explode from what
exist to the unseen.
I find it interesting to balance my spontaneous expression with that
new approach of following unconscious perceptions objectified innew approach of following unconscious perceptions objectified in
conscious patterns and imagery.
The picture of the boat was for me another picture where I saw a girl
am racing a person, a boy or a girl... Still undefined. It was more about
the emotion I felt when I saw that embrace pictures in my head, but
more importantly overwhelming because it was a pure expression of
grace and love.

41. [3] Love message
Many people asked me about the meaning . For once I am into figurative art, I expected people not to ask as much as they did
with my abstract paintings.
My only word about it may be that people need to believe in something and it is not my role as myself to tell people what to
think. I have strong points of views on any topic but I have never considered them to be universal truth.
I have seen people are very intolerant towards each other and that breaks my heart. The only religion that is worth believing in
for me is love.
Anyone wants and needs to give and receive love.
It is the purest thing, making us closer to grace, to the essential of being connected with ourselves and others.

Minimalism is the key
Be straightforward it will break what is
unstable and stabilize what is meant to last.
Forgive and look beyond
Beyond what you can touch
Within what you feel
Follow your instinct
And if there is insecurity,
Embrace the path of adventure.
Beyond what you see and touch.
A feel of eternity.

66. This morning I woke up and saw the Mekong river
enlightened by a high sun. The image was such that half of
a moon was to appear in front of my eyes in bright silver. It
was all shimmering and the waves were dancing in silent
gold. I thought I was in a dream but it was real. The room
was very unusual like from another era. The view was from
a high location. I could see the houses and gardens but still
this amazing wave of light and gold prevailed over any
other detail. It seemed to me nothing was so real. But it
was real. I looked at it and closed my eyes again wishing I
could wake up again and be amazed a second time, which
Lotus flowers
could wake up again and be amazed a second time, which
happened. The motion of waves was like stars dancing as a
glittery mixture. It was atmospheric and the atmosphere
did not leave me. As I went along a usual social day, the
vision kept present on my mind at any second and is still
now. I don't want to go back to that moment, and I don't
really have to, because it seems the moment literally
captured me. I have no picture to share, I had no phone.
Just a nice melody on my mind. The melody of an infinite
motion where the light and the darkness are just one same
thing to live and love.

67. Last night I was awaken by the wind. It seemed like a dream
to hear the power of the wind here in Phnom Penh. The
sound seemed like the cold wind where I am from. If I closed
my eyes I could see myself in the cold winter or Belgium,
France, England or Amsterdam. I felt nostalgia ! I woke up
and had a ride with my Moto. It was freezing ! My dream
came true ! First time here ! I am so happy with my jacket
drinking coffee outside with my hair as warming fur !
