VENENO: Between Graffiti, Engraving, and the Poetry of Rebellion

For nearly two decades, Artist Veneno (Instagram) has been leaving her mark across the globe. A member of the Belgian artist collective CNN199 (Instagram), Veneno’s work transcends borders and genres, fusing the raw energy of graffiti with the precision of engraving.

Her murals stand at the crossroads of subversive art and animal symbolism. Each wall tells a story — of resilience, duality, and the delicate balance between chaos and calm. Drawing inspiration from her surroundings, Veneno transforms urban spaces into vast canvases alive with motion and meaning.

Her signature style is instantly recognizable: powerful black and white contrasts brought to life through cross hatching, a technique of intersecting lines that creates depth, texture, and emotion. Within these intricate layers emerge masked figures and wild creatures, inhabiting worlds where hip-hop culture collides with nature’s untamed spirit.

Veneno’s art thrives on contrasts — gentleness and violence, intimacy and harshness, protection and protest. Every piece becomes a reflection of this tension, revealing beauty within conflict and tenderness within defiance.

But Veneno’s creativity doesn’t stop at walls. She also explores crochet as an artistic medium, reinterpreting iconic urban objects with poetic sensitivity. Through this unexpected craft, she infuses symbols of street culture with warmth and humanity, transforming rebellion into care and resistance into connection.

In Veneno’s world, hyenas are queens and vandals are kings — a realm where art roars with wild grace, and every line, thread, and shadow carries the pulse of freedom.
