Insane51 is an artist known for his intricate and ever-innovative spray painting that pushes the ideas of graffiti. He is a Greek muralist living in Athens who is regarded as one of the pioneers of 3D art.
Insane51 did his formal schooling at the Athens School of Fine Arts, where he studied both applied and graphic art. He began as a graffiti artist in 2007, and has never stopped since then.
His earlier works focused on using colour and form to experiment with different techniques; however, his current specialization revolves around the notions of photorealism and image overlaying. He was not an ordinary artist who played with an aerosol and scribbled walls. He is known for his street art in 3D, called “Double Exposure 3D”.
His method is to add two images in both red and cyan and overlap the two to produce a three-dimensional illusionary effect. It will, indeed, be one of two figures depending on the hue of the light.
A follower of photorealism and a fine technician, Insane 51 adds complexity to his latest paintings. It’s about creating different optical illusions. He takes a new step by inserting subliminal images revealed exclusively by wearing stereoscopic glasses. Cleverly combining red and cyan, the artist superimposes several layers of paint to hide a subliminal image.
Interpersonal relationships are often something he chooses to promote through his art. He loves depicting important moments between the people. A moment can disappear in seconds, that’s why he loves to bring them back to life. He has taken part in a number of festivals in Europe and throughout the world, including the OW WOW WORCESTER, UPFEST, ROSKILDE, SPLASH, WALL TO WALL, STREET PRINTS and others.
