Revolution USA spoke to graffiti artist and Patek Philippe Complications Replica brand ambassador Alec Monopoly at the opening of Patek Philippe Complications Replica’s new boutique at Patek Philippe Nautilus fake Aventura Mall.

When did you discover that you wanted to be an artist?

You know, I feel as if I was born an artist. My mother is an artist and growing up she taught me how to draw and paint. She was very supportive of me creating artwork.

What kind of art did you do back then?

I would do drawings. I was in art school. That was probably the only classes where I would concentrate when I was in high school and middle school. I was always drawn to Pop Art, the Patek Philippe Nautilus Replica bright colors, Andy Warhol, Basquiat and Lichtenstein. I was attracted to this kind of art. Bright and happy.

Do you remember the first artwork you did that made you really proud or satisfied?

I think it was in high school where we did a study on a David sculpture. When I was done, I saw that it looked just like the original, like hyper realistic. I remember feeling, wow, like I had a superpower or something. [laughs]

From where do you draw your Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Replica inspiration as it relates to culture, current events or anything else?

From traveling, experiencing life and street art. I do a lot of graffiti. I’m also inspired by the past, when reading about art history and reading about Picasso and Basquiat funneling it through my vision and pushing that forward.

When you work, what do you prefer: silence or music?

I like to listen to music. It’s a little give and take and it depends on which mood I’m in. It’s never the same music. Sometimes I listen to Bob Marley chill music and other times I listen to techno or hip hop as well. When I work really fast, I listen to minimal beats, techno – stuff like that.
