Phresha:: What’s the graffiti art scene like in Bulgaria and what is your role within it?
Nasimo:: Actually it's in progress, she is young and now developing. Real writers are uncommon and how I'm starting? With my homies Scum with used spray paint around the city starting around 95, but first two years we didn't know about the graff scene or that it was called graffiti. My role is that I'm a pioneer being one of the first to paint graffiti in Bulgaria.
Phresha:: Who were some of your original art influences?
Nasimo:: Was skate movies, seeing the backgrounds covered in graffiti. The whole American scene influenced me in the beginning. After USA graff I was inspired by old masters of fine art such as Mucha, Van Gough and DaVinci. Then I met Europe graff and now it's easy to see what inspires me, Girls, Cats and Graffiti.

Phresha:: How did your art evolve from the street to the gallery world?
Nasimo:: It was a natural progression with more people wanting to own my work and asking me to show it. It just fell into place.
Phresha:: How do you think your work is different then other Graff and street work out there today?
Nasimo:: I think my background in oil painting and mixing many styles I've developed over the years and my personal interpretation of the world.

Nasimo:: The Studio was born with my idea of taking my work from the streets and continuing it into people's homes and businesses such as bars, clothing stores and clubs. I worked with a number of artists and we swamped with work, but over time I found that I wanted to create more "fine art" paintings. I left the studio to paint the canvasses that are now at The Fall Gallery in Van.

Phresha:: What kind of music do you like to rock to when painting?
Nasimo:: Rock & Roll and Hardcore.
Phresha:: Do you have any advice for the younger generation of street artists?
Nasimo:: My own advice is to stay true in the game and if you really want to bomb hard then try bombing Bulgaria.
Phresha:: Upcoming shows or travels?Nasimo:: An exhibition in England and maybe in the summer I'll be painting in Spain, Italy and France.
Phresha:: Last words?
Nasimo:: Cats aren't right and girls aren't angels.
