Alex is an artist from Athens, Greece that represents himself as one_speg on Instagram. He used to be a graffiti artist for a large part of his life, but later developed an interest in graphic design. At that point, he decided to learn by himself how to design custom typography in Illustrator.
His artworks are moody, perhaps even dark, but they also provide a light source that delivers a specific message.
“I’m obsessed with the antithesis of darkness and light. I try to incorporate it in my artworks. Most of the times, the light source is represented through neon lights words/phrases. It’s the perfect way to spread a message to the viewer. I like catchy words, viewers can identify with them if they remember to them an emotion, a feeling or a mood”, he says.
