Influenced by Japanese animé , the graphic style from the 50s and Sci-Fi movies, he begins to paint graffiti just for fun and as a hobby, at the age of 13. Autodidactically and evolutionarily, attracted by fine arts, Smithe has constantly reinvented his own style and over the past years has tried out with many themes with his work such as existentialism, individuality of the human being and the machine within. The defragmentation, a frequently found analogy within his work, is used as means of conveying the inside elements which power his characters, visualized in form of surrealistic machines. He is commonly known for his graffiti but he´s also involved in other areas such as illustration, design, sculpturing and music. He has exhibited in Germany, France, Belgium, United Kingdom, Spain, USA and Mexico.
