From Moscow's Street Art Scene to the Global Stage
Timur Fork, whose real name is Timur Safarov, was born in 1986. He began making his mark in the Russian graffiti scene in the early 2000s, gaining recognition for his creation of uniquely distinctive characters. His exceptional works have left an indelible mark in major cities around the world, including Moscow, Barcelona, and Paris.

In 2017, Fork had a serious accident. He was thus compelled to take a break and reflect on his approach to art creation. This pivotal moment led him to experiment with new techniques and forms, blending his rich street art experience with studio-based canvas work. This transformative period marked a significant turning point in his artistic journey.
Between 2018 and 2020, Fork relocated to Barcelona, Spain, where he dedicated himself to painting and actively participating in various design projects. Currently, he has returned to Moscow, where he continues to create his works from his private studio, relentlessly refining and developing his unique artistic style.

His creations often play with surfaces and visual dimensions, blurring the lines between painting and sculpture. His art radiates a sense of joy and humor while offering profound reflections on social phenomena.
Over the years, Fork has joined various art festivals, including the 2022 Stenograffia Street Art Festival in Yekaterinburg, Russia, where his notable piece, "Look Up," garnered significant attention. Also, many of his works have been showcased in prestigious galleries and featured in international art auctions, further cementing his reputation in the global art scene.Fork has leveraged social media to share his artistic creations and serve inspiration to people worldwide too. The artist now has a large following of admirers who deeply appreciate his artistic style.
