[Irina Colorways]
"Fafi is strong presence in the graffiti and fine art scenes who is known for her images of sexy and liberated girls. On walls or in paintings, her girls can be funny, sexy, or aggressive. By exploring femininity through stereotypes and using it to her advantage, Fafi creates girls who are both powerful and active."
"Fafi has completed murals throughout the world, often with fellow graffitti artist Tilt, in places such as the United States (New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco), Japan, Germany, Belgium, Tunsia, Spain, Canada, and Hong Kong. In December 2002, Sony released her time-capsule toy set featuring six of her characters. In addition to being in numerous magazines, her first book, Girls Rock , was published earlier this year. She is also active with her clothing line of shirts and handbags and has been featured in MTV Europe's style show "Mash" and in such style bibles as The Face and Italian Vogue magazines."
