During my career as a graffiti writer I have traveled all over Europe, to paint my graffiti on the trains of the great European capitals. So I decided to paint a series of canvases depicting my graffiti that I painted on the trains in the nineties, adding a further step. By inserting the outlines of the graffiti inside the canvas, I discovered them in geometric shapes, converging towards the center of the canvas to give an explosive sensation of shapes and colors. I painted the letters of the graffiti in yellow to enhance the shapes and the rest of the background areas with bright colors, which would emphasize the letters themselves. So I gave birth to this explosion of style and creativity, which consecrated my research into the evolution of letters that lasted thirty years. In this subject in particular I depicted various graffiti that I painted in the nineties on the regional trains of my city (Milan). It was a line of trains that, starting from the central station of Cadorna, connected Milan to the largest cities of Lombardy. They were called the FN Ferrovie Nord (Northern Railways) and were the field of action of us writers in Milan. There are many memories that come back to me of the nights spent painting my graffiti on its trains and today I can say that the FN line were the blank sheet on which I developed my art and evolved the style of my graffiti.

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.
