Rocket01 began spray painting in 1994 and has been working as a freelance artist since 2005.
He began his career in the North of the UK in a rural town on the edge
of Sheffield City, where he would paint the many empty and abandoned buildings.
Later, with the emergence of street art he moved away from graffiti letters and
into the city centre where he began painting larger more prominent places.
His style is a dreamy blend of sci-fi surrealism
and portraiture, with aquatic tones of turquoise and greens which have become
his signature colour pallete. Behind all his work is a message of environmental
concern, but also optimism for unity between science, technology and mankind.

Synopsis:
The world is in your hands
“The world is in your hands é, segundo Rocket, um desenho que cobre os temas do festival: “através de uma figura feminina forte, queria mostrar que o mundo, as suas nações, culturas e ambientes, estão realmente nas nossas mãos ao segurarmos o globo. Mas, ao envolver a figura em plantas, mostro que também estamos nas mãos da natureza. As plantas e as flores fazem parte de nós e confiamos profundamente nelas, isto é demonstrado através da ligação com o capacete. O grande círculo ilustra o ciclo da vida, a reciclagem, a reutilização, e os ambientes do céu e do espaço marinho terrestre. A mulher também usa dois distintivos, para a paz e para a reciclagem.”
