Story of a word
Said Dokins is an internationally recognized and formally trained calligrapher and multi-disciplinary artist. He draws inspiration from his Mexican roots, graffiti, Mesoamerican Pre-Hispanic symbolism and elements from adaptations of multiple forms of calligraphy to create his unique visual signature. Dokin’s work focuses on the aesthetic potential of words and letters, allowing them to morph into overlapping patterns and textures. He conducts intensive research for his pieces, approaching each one in a scholarly manner. For his time in Stavanger with Nuart, Dokins conducted multiple interviews with both locals and immigrants to the area, in a quest to distil meaning into one impactful word which represented the shared experience of both parties. Ultimately he isolated the term
