In his backyard, Alfons Scholing proudly displays his 'Enemie' crew graffiti piece, a nostalgic work that takes him back to his teenage years in Almere, Amsterdam, Diemen, and Hilversum. Vibrant cities full of creative people, they were a breeding ground for young artists like Scholing who wanted to express themselves through graffiti.
When asked about his crew and their work, Scholing reminisces about the good old days. He recalls how he and his friends would spend hours discussing their latest pieces and admiring the works of other graffiti artists. He tells stories of the adrenaline rush they would feel when creating their pieces, always looking over their shoulders for the police.
Years later, Scholing was surprised to find that his crew's legacy had continued to grow independently, with other young artists building on their early work to create even larger and more impressive pieces. He felt proud to have been a part of something that had grown into something much bigger than he ever could have imagined.
This nostalgic piece serves as a reminder of the passion and dedication that went into creating graffiti art in the early days. It's a testament to the creativity and talent of Scholing and his 'Enemie' crew, who left a lasting mark on the urban landscape.
