In my own words

— Victor

My name is Victor "Marka27" Quiñonez I'm known as an artist with a rich history in graffiti, street culture, and design.

I believe that design is a creative expression wholly powerful, impactful, and progressive if guided by genuine purpose. The "purpose" is what's most important and that's to engage with an audience in order to achieve a dialogue.

My approach for design-- whether product or graphic driven-- is similar to my process creating art. Both start with passion, discovery, and building a narrative.

My passion comes from the streets, not merely studying it but living it as well. It's a way of life. Creating fashion products like footwear, accessories, and graphics reflects my purpose for engaging an audience in a dialogue on cultural authenticity driven by self-expression.
