Joachim Pitt alias “Mr. Flash”
Lives and works in Giessen and Wetzlar, Hesse, Germany
Artistgroups: 3Steps & Funky Fingers
The main focus of the work of Mr. Flash is on the figurative painting, which, like the last piece of a puzzle, perfects the work of 3Steps and connects the styles of Doc Nova and SiveOne. Action-packed comic book heroes and literary figures are fighting for the favor of the viewer and create atmosphere in the imagery of 3Steps.
His fascination for applied science and the facets of the cultures of our lovely planet earth can also be found in his work on canvas that like a jewel that casts a spell on the viewer and makes time stop.
"There are only a few alternatives for a mural created together with friends on a sunny day or the feeling after a completed work. 3Steps and Funky Fingers are my crews – Graffiti is my passion."
