Amara Por Dios

Amara Por Dios is a Swedish artist but she is based in London. She has been doing street art since 2010. She said that she loves “to paint big, it’s a feeling of freedom and not to be limited”.  As well as doing street art she also does graphic designing and canvas painting. In her work she has a mixture of “ancient, ethnic imagery with a modern palette and animated, graffiti application that is reminiscent of a more vibrant version of the tribal art left behind by the Aztec and Incan peoples”.  She uses a lot of bright colours in her work. Her interest in graffiti art stared as a child in her grandmother’s studio. She continued to draw and paint until she graduated in 2007. After this she enhanced her graffiti skills.

She has done a few collaborations including the finish street wear brand KSRHU originals. In 2010 she designed a t-shirt for Flying Lotus, an American producer. The t-shirts got sold in Japan on Tour and on online stores. In 2012, she designed the album comer “Martian Xmas” for Moka Only, a Canadian rap artist. She has had exhibitions in many cities in Sweden. But in 2013 she finally had her first solo international exhibition which was located in London at the Great Easter Bear Gallery. She currently has her own t-shirt brand,is working on larger scales of area and I doing graffiti in the streets of London.


I very much like Amara Por Dios’s work. The reason for this is that her work is very original. Her work has a consistent theme. If you were to walk down the street and you saw her graffiti you would be able to recognise that it is her work. I also like how she uses a black outline to show the features of the characters or cartoons that she creates but at the same time she makes them look realistic. 

Here are a few pictures of her work:
