Moin of LOMO

Hi, I’m Moin.

I got my start in the graffiti scene of late-90s Sweden. Over the years, I’ve developed a style that blends playful, figurative portraits with a darker, mythical edge—often drawing inspiration from the world of The Lord of the Rings. I try to bring a strong sense of narrative to my pieces through detailed linework, which is heavily influenced by traditional ink drawing.

What I enjoy most is experimenting with color. I’ve always been drawn to wildstyle palettes—with crazy colorful mixes, but mostly I avoid black lines. I’ve been working to adapt that energy into more figurative compositions that, I hope, feel both familiar and fresh.

Like many from my generation, I took a long break after those early years. During that time, I focused on art education and contemporary oil painting, which really helped me grow—both in theory and in practice.

In 2020, during the Covid lockdowns, I felt the pull to return. With a spray can in hand and new ideas in mind, I jumped back in. Since then, I’ve had the chance to paint walls in seven countries and take part in a number of graffiti festivals. It’s been an exciting and energizing journey.
