YAMAKASINO was born in 1978 in Bielefeld (Germany) and has been living and working in Berlin for 20 years.
He found his access to art in the graffiti scene.
Already at the age of 15 he sprayed commissioned works for private individuals, companies and public carriers. Over the years, he realized himself in many other areas of street art, such as stencil, sketchbook and tape art.

Here he acquired his love and understanding of colors, contrasts and image geometries, which together with the playful approach, still influence his work today.

For his photographic works, the artist looks less for specific buildings, but rather for unusual angles and geometric divisions.

With his series "Minimal Architecture" YAMAKASINO tries to find simplicity and beauty in the chaos of big cities and make them visible.
The digitally calmed and color-transformed images show and enhance forms, colors and contrasts that have been obscured by urban sensory overload.

The boundaries between reality and painting are meant to blur, giving the viewer a new look at what is already familiar.
