Microbo - The A’s to Our Q’s:
Wooster: How did you get started in
creating art for the street?
Microbo: Street is for me like a
big library where you can have an idea of the world in real time. it is where
all people pass by sooner or later: children, teenagers, adults, elderly,
intellectuals, uneducated, priests, tourists, immigrants, poor, rich, workers,
idler, business-men, housewives, tramps. I like the idea that, in this way,
everyone is able to see…. I started do it also for the principle! Because I
am fed up with seeing and reading only slogans or commercial labels instead of
frescoes, great public buildings and graffiti like the ones painted in ancient
times..
Wooster: What other street artists do you most admire
and why?
Microbo: I think in Italy there are some “talented
monster” coming out from the shadow: Bo130, Robot inc., Pavia & Abbominevole
crew, Ozmo, plank, El euro, Banana, Pao, Lemeri, Goze, the 61 crew…etc etc

post and/or to see street art?
Microbo: I don’t have one
favorite city or spot…usually I like see arts in that places the seem
abandoned from God, or that places looks to much clean and boring!

Microbo: the entire
microcosmo, invisible with naked eye, but important for evolution, creation, and
surviving
