Description
Msero – „Burning cloud” 2023, is a marker & spray painting on a 75 x 43 cm cotton canvas.
With great enthusiasm, we present a new and rare piece of the local culture as a canvas painted by legendary graffiti writer Msero.
Msero is a Romanian artist who lives and works in Bucharest, but his long passion for graffiti keeps him constantly on the road, chasing new trains and metros in the EU, the US, and other continents.
You could expect a lot of artwork from such a prolific and active writer, but with Mser, this is not the case. He rarely paints on canvas or paper as he prefers to exhibit his works on metros, trains and urban walls. We can only imagine that obtaining the same amazing results on canvas requires a lot more time because of the difficulty of painting all the details on a smaller scale.
“Burning Cloud” is a captivating canvas painting by Romanian graffiti artist Mser, featuring his signature style of graffiti lettering. Measuring 75 x 43 cm, this artwork showcases Mser’s name, “MSERO,” rendered in a unique and expressive form that blends bold street art aesthetics with dynamic use of colour and texture.
At the centre of the artwork, Mser’s name is depicted in his distinctive graffiti style, with the letters appearing to drip and flow as if they were melting and burning. The letters are painted in varying tones of grey, blue, and pink, adding a layered, almost liquid-like texture to the piece. This dripping effect enhances the artwork’s sense of fluidity and dynamism.
Behind the graffiti letters, a striking gradient of red and yellow emerges, resembling an explosion or a burning cloud. This fiery backdrop contrasts sharply with the cooler tones of the letters, creating a vivid interplay of colours that draws the viewer’s eye. The gradient evokes a sense of heat and intensity, reinforcing the “burning” theme the title suggests.

We published an article about Msero that gathered a lot of attention on social media, with many comments and reactions from readers, supporters, and followers. With so many EU and US paintings, his graffiti either pleases the viewer or drives some people nuts. In his letters, Mser can condense multiple references and graffiti elements combined with typographic and calligraphic elements. Over the years, Mser painted graffiti pieces with more than 300 different names, but you can almost recognise even his unusual monikers using his legible style of creating the letters.
Quite the opposite of his intense activity, Msero rarely paints on canvas. He can paint over 300 walls, trains, subways, and tramways in a year, but he paints only a few canvases. Although Msero is a skilled graffiti writer who can paint super fast when he applies similar techniques to canvas, he must expend more time on the details than in any of his outdoor works. He can spend weeks and even a few months until he considers an artwork finished. The results are magnificent, and the clarity of the letters and the subtle details let your eyes get into the image and open your imagination.
In our online shop, you can find a small series of digital posters, reproductions of a work made by Nesk, depicting Mser in action. It is a rare chance to get a signed and numbered poster by Mser. Shop here
