Artist Commentary

Label

“Images create our reality and are embedded into our subconscious. I’m a spiritual street artist who loves art in all its forms. My Invocations come from Graffiti art, Street art, Kemetic art, Rastafari art, Yoruba arts, Cultural arts, Conscious art, Black and Latino arts. I seek to expose the world to my art and the science and mythology that makes it an expression of who we all are.” – Ras Terms (from his website)
