Murals mark the origin of the work in graffiti and street art. The “C” in Darko C. Nikolic stands for Caramello, my former street-art name.

Again and again, wall works are created in public space. They take up the formal systems developed in other bodies of work and translate them into large-scale, site-specific works. The public realm offers a particular appeal through its low-threshold accessibility and its direct presence in everyday life.

The engagement with geometric abstraction here does not arise from an academic tradition, but from a subcultural practice. This development—from street art toward constructive, geometric forms—is also continued in projects under the name Urban Constructivism.
