During my 30-year career as a graffiti writer, I evolved letters, creating my own style. This evolution has led me to modify and distort the letters to my liking. After several years, the letters took on dynamic, sometimes aerodynamic shapes. My ion for the master sculptors of the Renaissance led me to create a series of marble statues, representing the letters of my graffiti style, to make them eternal.
For this letter, the "N" I went to the famous Carrara marble quarries, to personally select the piece of marble from which to sculpt the letter. Thanks to my personal evolution of letters over thirty years, I have deformed its structure to make it sinuous and attractive.I have broken the symmetry of the letter and made it more varied and dynamic. The letter is formed by a series of pointed shapes similar to blades that refine the basic shapes of the letter which are squat and solid.

Alberto Silva, known by his alias Sand, is a contemporary Italian artist. Since 1995, Sand's graffiti has left an indelible mark on the urban landscape of Milan, transforming mundane walls and railways into vibrant canvases that challenge both societal norms and artistic conventions. His early works were a bold opposition to authority and the law, a testament to his irreverent spirit that sought to give shape to his creativity in the most unapologetic way.
As the years unfolded, Sand's artistic expression evolved into a personal rebellion, a vandalistic exploration driven by an obsession with the evolution of letters. In his quest to forcefully infuse creativity into the public realm, Sand crafted an alphabet that adhered to his distinct stylistic rules, embodying a wholly unique form of expression.
While continuing to wield the spray can as his weapon of choice, Sand, ever hungry for new challenges, ventured into uncharted territories. Marble, a symbol of life's difficulties and harshness, became a canvas for his transformative touch. In Sand's hands, this unforgiving material metamorphosed into something wonderful, a testament to the transformative power of nature, art, and ion.
Sand's letters, once born from the urgency of the streets, have undergone a remarkable metamorphosis. Extravagant and sinuous, they bear the scars of decades of modification and enrichment. Inspired by the pioneers of graffiti in New York, Sand forged his own path, diverting attention from mere design to the intricacies of aerodynamics. His letters, now embodying a very personal stylistic evolution, stand as a testament to his unyielding commitment to pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
Alberto Silva, alias Sand, remains a sculptor of paradoxes, seamlessly blending the chaos of the streets with the refined elegance of marble. Through his art, he invites us to witness the alchemy of transformation, where the difficulties of life become a source of wonder when touched by the hands of a true artist.
