RETNA Houston Street Mural
RETNA Himself, showing his paint stained hands.
RETNA has this to say about this wall, and his work in general:
"It's about the world, unity and the circle of life. You know, how we're kind of all in this mission together. So there are some quotes that I'm writing about... you know my work deals a lot with different cultures and writing and I like the universality of it. I'm inspired by just a lot of different people, races, cultures, old scribes, ancient monuments, hieroglyphics and all that good stuff. I see a lot of similarities between a lot of different cultures within the artwork so I try to just mesh it all in to be another link in that circle. That's what the work is really about. Once I'm done I have the whole thing that I wrote... sometimes what happens with these pieces, the work itself kind of starts to interact and I'll see other things in there that kind of jump out, then I piece the whole saying together pretty much after that."
