Aktin Dreiglo 

Aktin Dreiglo is a multi-talented artist, designer, and architect. Born in Poland, he embarked on his artistic journey through graffiti, practiced arts in Berlin, notably street art, before making Hong Kong his creative home for the past 14 years. His artistic prowess encompasses a dynamic fusion of abstract and figurative painting, often interweaving diverse media, including canvas, photography, stencil, and stamping.

In recent years, Dreiglo's  artistry has taken a new turn, as he has delved extensively into the world of real objects. His approach inspired by the work of Yves Klein involves imprinting these objects and reassembling them into mesmerising artworks. These creations straddle the line between figurative and abstract, simultaneously evoking familiar forms while inviting viewers to explore the sculptural and textural dimensions of our world.
