Other information:

A tag is a signature that graffiti artists put in public places to be recognized.

HILOS created his pieces for this exhibition without a fixed plan through trial and error experimenting with materials that led him to the results that can be seen today in the gallery.

The message of his works is to show the everyday in a different way.
