Said Dokins is a Mexico City-based artist who has been writing on walls since the 1990s. Trained in visual arts and philosophy at UNAM, he studied Western calligraphy with Denis Brown and Japanese brush technique with Master Masahiko Hiyama — fusing these traditions with graffiti into what he calls his “Primitive Alphabet.” Named one of Forbes Mexico’s 100 Most Creative Mexicans, his monumental murals span five continents. In 2021, he came to Vienna for the Calle Libre festival, where he created these editions using words collected from people he met in the streets.
Blue moon / Blewwaną compresses calligraphic letterforms into a spiraling torus — deep blue ink densely packed against a scored silver-white ground. The title merges English with a word from Dokins’ Primitive Alphabet, a writing system where Western characters absorb the gestural energy of Japanese shodo and the velocity of graffiti tags. All layers were created on site during Calle Libre and printed in a fully analogue process.
