STORY

GRAFFITI ARTIST

ROXS

My name is RoxS (real name Pascal Gruber, born 1995) and I am a full-time artist from Lower Austria. Since 2020, I have turned my passion for art into my profession and now work as a commissioned artist. I realize creative projects and commissions for companies and private individuals who are looking for unique wall designs and graffiti art.

My artistic journey began at the age of 14, when I started drawing graffiti on paper. Fascinated by the variety of letter designs, I soon discovered the world of spray cans. My first attempts on my parents' garage wall quickly led to a passion for the graffiti technique, which I continuously refined.

Over the years, my artistic focus changed. I began to spray paint figurative motifs and geometric shapes, which led to the development of a very special, distinctive style. My style is characterized by exciting color combinations that create depth and dynamism - modern, contrasting and unique.
