Daim – a German graffiti artist  – has been around from the early 90s, well from what I can remember or first took note of anyway. Never content with painting 'traditional’ graffiti, he has always pushed the boundries. I distinctly remember seeing a mural he had painted that adorned a full side of an apartment block in a mag in the 90s. I had no idea that people could work on such a large scale, retain proportions and deliver a coherant, eye-catching piece of work. Daim opened my eyes to these possibilities.

Regarding Daim’s style of graffiti, it can be seen s a 3d-style. Himself, Loomit (a Germain painter) and another Dutch artist know as Delta can be seen as the pioneers of this style. It came about in the 90s. Daim has really taken it to the next level though, his background in architecture and his sophisticated use of colour palettes reflect this.
