So it's no surprise that he chose to paint Miami rap legend Trick Daddy on the far right. He painted the mural entirely in spray paint and in approximately 2 days.

This production is a perfect example of a group of graffiti artists from around the world coming together for a impromptu painting session.

His art originated in the streets of his hometown. AMOS subsequently took his hobby to freight trains, transporting his name and unique style from one end of the continent to the other.This mural is not graffiti. It is much more abstract expressionism and color theory. The shapes and colors in this mural are a large scale replica of a collage. AMOS, while helping his son with his homework, was cutting different color construction paper to make a family tree. The bits of those papers that fell to the floor were organized and made into a collage that was then painted for Basel House Mural Festival 2018.(@pedro_amos_)www.pedroamos.com

He added bubbles in the3-D to make the burner heavier and more dense. This was painted in December, 2018.
TRAGEK
TRAGEK is a Nicaraguan import who spent years in Burntown, USA before moving to Miami. HIs style captures both, traditional style writing, and modern techniques.TRAGEK absolutely snapped on this day. This piece was part of an 8 man, impromtu collaboration with graffiti writers from all across America. His letters, pop and bounce all over the wall... yet the piece is centered. Flirting with both the top and bottom of the wall, the piece remains visually balanced. TRAGEK has exaggerated the extensions of his letters. His arrows point and menace. The piece sits comfortably, on a 4 color cloud background. ENJOY!!@tragek1www.sprayandstrokes.com
