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.
