In our final cover story of 2023, get to know @artlanta__ - the multidimensional creative artist, painter, and musician based in Miami, Florida. ARTLANTA grew up in challenging circumstances and was introduced to art through graffiti as a child. He always knew he had a natural talent for painting but never pursued it until later.
“I grew up dirt poor in the projects of Atlanta. That’s when I touched my first paintbrush and spray paint can. I used to tag trains and buses as a kid. I never went to art school or had an art class. I just always had the gift in me to paint.”
The moniker ARTLANTA then derived from his childhood nickname, “lanta,” with the addition of “art” when he started diving into the world of art. Hit the link in bio to read his inspiring journey with photos by @keysus and styling by @tonythrifts.
