Serra - The A’s to Our Q’s:


Wooster: How did you get
started in creating art for the street?

Serra: I was
curious to understand what I saw on the walls of my city, who and why someone
writed on the wall? I finded some writers, hall of fames, and some aerosol
fanzines..  I was detecting a new world in the same city. It was like 2
differents worlds in the same city….but before I was living only in one. After
8 years of writing I’m coming booring to make only letters or similars. It is a
“closed-language”. I have need to comunicate to many peoples is possible. I
filled like a Chines that wanted to speak whit all world but nobody can
understad for the “strange” language. If u are a writer u like some graffiti.
if u are’t a writer is too difficult understand a graffito (maybe just
colours…). anyway it’s based all about the name of the artist, tags-crew,
personal style. I don’t like this face of graffiti’s world and writers too. No
tags, NO crew, NO style, No Kings.. just a Person ...whith his message.


Wooster: Why teeth?

Serra:
Do u know when u REALLY love a girl? Do You want to know when it’s the real
LOVE? well.. just count how many times u brush your teeth in a day: if u brush
your teeth more than 3 times in a day , well.. u relly love the girl that u are
visiting often! ..and so, from here ,started “Lavati I Denti” propaganda (Brush
your teeth propaganda) I need in my life to love someone ...and a lot of other
peoples too…but they forgot to love and how beautifull is to love!! ..and so
I’m here to refresh all minds smile

Wooster: What other
street artists do you most admire and why?

Serra: I
admire the artist that done something whit a sens for him but in the same time
for others peoples too. There are a lot of cool street artists… have no sense
to write a listnames here.
 
Wooster: What’s your
favorite city, neighborhood, or block, to post and/or to see street art?
/>
Serra: Every place have his beauty. Every place have a
different identity from others places. I like to post near the invisible line
that devide 2 “beauties” of 2 place in the same city.  better if this 2
“beauties” are in conflicting.  All cities are cool…

Wooster: What
inspires you now?

Serra: Inspire me all what
happens around me, we live into “cities-immages” - EVERYTHING AS AN IMMAGE… 
just walking’n'lookig on the streets,  just to watch outside the window or just
watch Tv (but just from 4 minuts at day… I can’t digest too much Tv-immages) I
see in conflict a lot of “immages” ...I don’t want to say on my works what
“immage” is good or bad I “just” put in evidence this conflict-immages… but I
hope to make Questions into walking-peoples’mind.

/>Wooster: What are you currently working on?  Can you give us
a sneak peek?

Serra: I like analyse and begin a
project (propaganda) for 4-9 months… and after develop an other idea… Here
my last project about The War in Iraq:  “somone” sayd….“The war in IRAQ is
over!” “We are the winners…IRAQ is freedoom…”  There are also 3 past
projects on http://www.serraglia.tk . I hope u Enjoy I’m really Sorry for My
English, but I hope u can understand. Thx for all. Peace. Serra(gli)a
