About
With a deep love for the outdoors and a strong affinity for graffiti and street art, Ten Forty Three (1043) channels abstract expressionism and graffuturism techniques to tap into his subconscious and imagine alternative societal structures.
Currently focused on the confluence between the man-made and natural worlds, his work explores the push and pull of these opposing forces. Guided by themes of activism, sustainability, and perseverance, 1043 uses a variety of mediums to express the complexities of the human condition and offer thoughtful responses to the challenges we face.
The name Ten Forty Three embodies his belief in the creative potential that emerges when the subconscious is set free.
"My artist alias, ‘1043’ comes from a specific time that has consistently caught my attention since childhood. I’ve always seen it as a subtle appearance of my subconscious, surfacing in quiet moments. Over time, it became a symbol for me—a reminder to stay connected to my inner voice and follow my intuition throughout my creative process."
