In addition to classic graffiti, Stohead is responsible for political sculptures and background paintings, which he has already presented at numerous exhibitions.

“In Stohead's work, his great passion is clearly evident - writing. Writing is a carrier of information, writing allows thoughts and feelings to be captured and preserved in a form, writing can be an aesthetic masterpiece when it becomes calligraphy. And here Stohead links what shapes him with what moves him: the code of the streets. "
