My name is Wellington Naberezny,
but my graffiti sign is Sipros.
When I started painting, out on the streets, in 1997,
doing some bombs, the help I had was none to buy paint and stuff,
because I was only 14 year old so my mom would never want to help,
I wouldn't even think about it,
so I did my thing because my that had a body shop
and I'd get some of his paint cans and did some bombs.
My work was ***, I didn't have any notion,
back then there was no internet so you'd only see that work in magazines
and that's how it was for a very long time, I learnt by myself doing my things,
but I always wanted to evolve.
Some imported magazines started selling here
and there were a few drawing like that, more realistic,
and I was very much interested by it, I liked doing faces already,
so I started studying to get to that level.
I can't explain what's graffiti in my life, everything around me is graffiti,
I wake up and step in spray cans, my car's trunk is full of cans,
my clothes are dirty with paint, you know man, I don't know, graffiti is my life.
My dream, man, is to graffiti the streets
and go to some countries and show my work, that's a victory, man, conquering it,
but I believe I'm still young, I've just started,
I've been doing realistic graffiti for 4 years,
I do graffiti for 16 years now,
but I'm still new at what I do so I believe it will work out,
sometimes you want to do something and it doesn't work out,
but be sure something else will happen and it will be a lot greater than what didn’t.
The face I drew is from movie director Tarantino,
the words he said should be heard by anybody that does graffiti,
that's starting out, don't wait for other you know, man,
you can't expect things from other people, that's a great booster,
this message of him, to everyone, to everything, man, to everything.
If you want to make a movie, make it.
Don't wait for a grant,
don't wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it.
