Arsek&Erase
The graffiti duo Arsek & Erase will be among the participants of the graffiti zone at Aniventure ComicCon 2024!
Two names that are well known on the Bulgarian graffiti scene – as their works can be spotted in the very center of Sofia! They gave free rein to their love of graffiti back in the early 2000s, painting mostly in the field of illustration and surrealism, distinguishing themselves with fresh colors and fun characters inspired by nature and the surrounding world.
Over the years, in addition to actively participating in the development of the native graffiti scene, organizing events such as Meeting of Styles and Sprite Graffiti Fest, in recent years they have taken their work outside Bulgaria, participating in major festivals in Europe and around the world. Their works can be seen in the USA, China, Taiwan, El Salvador, Russia and almost all European capitals.

A key feature of his work is the positive transformation of public space, which is felt in his most recent projects involving large-scale interventions on various sports grounds – such as the “COMET 97-98” project, which transformed a basketball and football court in Sofia in 2023.
