Spraygraphic Interview with Artist Diego Beyro
SG: Please tell us about yourself?
DB: I am Diego Beyró, from Argentina. I am an artist living and working in Argentina. I spent my last two years at Fabrica, the Benetton communication centre, in Italy.
SG: What mediums do you work with?
DB: I dont like limits, so everything is welcome. I have worked with oils, acrylic, pencil, computer, and I want to experiment more and more.
SG: Describe your working process when creating a new work.
DB: First I need ideas, and for me, there is no process for that. Once, I have an idea, I try to find the best way to produce it. If I stay relaxed, the medium comes to reality, and that’s why I dont really care about the medium. I always prioritize the idea.
SG: What kind of things do you do when you get blocked or find it hard to create something?
DB: A professor once told me: “Good ideas comes when you are distracted”. That’s the key for me, that’s what I try to do and with that little phrase I never get frustrated. I just take it and then let it flow
SG: Where are you currently finding your inspiration?
DB: In my normal life: magazines, blogs, women, my cat. Sometimes dancing and so on. The key is just keeping an open eye all of the time.
SG: Where has your work been seen?
DB: In Argentina, United States, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Chile, Colombia and Lebanon. Magazines and newspapers, and some books.
SG: Where will it be seen next?
DB: I hope all over the globe.
SG: What is your dream art assignment?
DB: Being big, very big.
SG: What is your favorite color?
DB: It was red, now green.
SG: Who is your favorite artist? And Why?
DB: I have been changing my mind about this. I think I don´t have a favorite. It used to be Dali, probably that is why I wear a mustache. On the other hand I love Renaissance. I love Klimt’s work and Egon Shciele. Nowadays, I’m enjoying the Gottfried Helnwein’s work. He already did all the things I’d ever wanted to make, and better than I was expecting. I remember the day when I discovered him…
SG: Ever do a self portrait? Where is it now?
DB: I never have.
SG: What book/magazine are you reading this week?
DB: Argentina is full of great magazines and I love to consume them. There is a new one called Carne which has super good quality. Atypica is also super good. We have a lot of good mags down here. And theuncoolhunter.com is simply amazing.
SG: Where is your favorite place to hang out?
DB: Bars and airports.
SG: Any final words of advice?
DB: Enjoy life, as far as we know, its the only thing we have.

Are these done on canvas with pre printed patterns or fabric?

The pattern is naturally printed on the canvas because is a normal and real bed sheets. The faces are painted.
