Classically trained as a painter and with a degree in fine art under his belt, young Lithuanian artist Ernest Zacharevic has built himself a reputation in street- and fine-art circles through the emotional impact and uncompromising mashup of techniques in his work. Based in Penang, Malaysia, but always a restless traveller at heart, whilst Zacharevic is active both in the studio and outdoors, he prefers however to see himself as ‘‘more of a fine artist who paints in the streets rather than a street artist.’’ Undoubtedly, his work fairly justifies this self-definition, mostly because of how it combines elements from both worlds seen in the combination of the thick messy lines of spray paints with his detailed brushwork.
