← A graffiti tradition.<br />

Nothing hides an identity<br />

from the paparazzi<br />

like a <strong>Montana</strong> BLACK<br />

can in front of your eyes.<br />

Where does graffiti fit into your life at the moment? Are<br />

you a graffiti writer doing other things to survive, are<br />

you a designer with a graffiti habit, or is it completely<br />

different for you? What drives you to get up and get<br />

going each day?<br />

LAIA<br />

Right now graffiti fits everywhere in my life. It’s my<br />

hobby, my passion, and it’s also my job, I don’t work<br />

exclusively just painting, but I do work doing 100%<br />

graffiti-related things. Designs for brands, collaborations,<br />

murals, and whatever comes my way. Every day is<br />

a new adventure, and every project is different. I also<br />

have a small online store. I can say that I have become a<br />

workaholic now that I like what I do, and that is an<br />

incredible motivation to get up every day and continue<br />

doing what I like the most. When I started painting, I<br />

would never have thought that this could be happening,<br />

it’s wonderful.<br />

An Interview with Spanish graffiti artist<br />

LAIA<br />

<strong>Montana</strong> Cans<br />

Tell us a little about where LAIA is at right now.<br />

LAIA<br />

At the moment I find myself living between Valencia and<br />

Barcelona, which was my hometown. Two years ago I<br />

decided to move to Valencia in search of peace and calm<br />

to be able to work while listening to the birds. This was<br />

impossible in Barcelona. There, I lived in the center of the<br />

city and worked in the city center. So, I never really left<br />

the “stress zone”. I needed the calm that Valencia has to<br />

offer, which is a big city but at the same time a lot more<br />

peaceful. Now I miss Barcelona. It’s a strange love/hate<br />

thing. When I need movement, hustle, and bustle, I go to<br />

Barcelona. And for the rest, I stay in Valencia.<br />

↑ “La, La, La”, but no<br />

blah blah.<br />

← No undercoating<br />

needed. One of the<br />

reasons why LAIA<br />

turns to the <strong>Montana</strong><br />

BLACK 1030 Yellow to<br />

rock the spot.<br />

MC<br />

If you had to choose one of the two cities permanently,<br />

which would it be?<br />

LAIA<br />

If I had to stay permanently in one of them, I would stay<br />

in Barcelona.<br />
