Biography

Carleen De Sözer born in Birmingham, England in the late seventies her only destination was to live the life of an artist. "I create art, firstly for myself I enjoy tapping into that creative space in my imagination that allows me to turn thought into physical pictures. Sharing my art is a natural part of the creative process, we build on everything that exist...a thought, an idea...a feeling. I believe that my art is a re-creation of every visual and thought that I have received from the creative flow that is LIFE".

Carleen De Sözer is widely regarded as one of London’s most skilled and diverse aerosol and airbrush artists. She has found a place on the International street art scene with her highly appealing Afrocentric, Afrofuturistic and often golden paintings. Carleen’s distinct work can be seen all across London. Her most popular murals to date include Golden Utopia, You Have The Keys, Golden Era Hip Hop Raised Me and Grime Lords. Over the last 20 years, Carleen has been consistent in supplying art in many formats, from graphic design, tattooing to airbrushing, from logos to CD covers, from canvas to walls, from t-shirt designs to teaching her skills to the youth… it’s fair to say that Carleen loves her job. Ask her what she does for a living and she’ll comfortable state “I supply art for a living”. For the past 5 years Carleen’s attention and practice has been focused on creating a space for children, Black artist and Female street artist from all over the world.
