Dream, Believe, Create

Groundbreaking artist Justin Bua is internationally known for capturing the cultural relevance of the underground urban world in his artwork. Born and raised in NYC, Bua was fascinated and influenced by its raw, visceral street life, and the birth of Hip Hop, which inspired his distinct “Distorted Urban Realism” style. Starting as a commercial artist, Bua designed and illustrated myriad projects, from skateboards, CD covers, and apparel to advertising campaigns. His unique vision, melding urban rhythms, graffiti, and classical art training, speaks to a diverse audience by representing the lives of both the revered and the marginalized, the heroes and the underdogs of his time.
