My Dog Sighs murals infuses cities with soulful expressions. His murals, often accompanied by poetic messages, evoke emotions and provide a unique lens through which to view the world.
Through the use of tin cans, once vessels of sustenance and now discarded by a materialistic society, he creates thought-provoking pieces that reflect moments of loss and rediscovery. Inspired by the feelings of being lost and then found, he dedicated a decade to the highly praised Free Art Friday initiative.
My Dog Sighs has solidified his position as a prominent figure in the contemporary art scene, with an international following, worldwide murals, and acclaimed exhibitions, including the immersive “Inside” exhibition in his hometown of Southsea, Portsmouth.
