Street Art Meets 3d Printing: IMPRESO X BNS Graffiti Tags

Written By luis aguilera

In a groundbreaking collaboration between IMPRESO, and the renowned artist BNS, an exciting new project has emerged, combining street art and technology. Through their mutual passion for pushing artistic boundaries, IMPRESO and BNS have come together to create mesmerizing 3D-printed graffiti sculptures that captivate the imagination.

BNS, known for his background in street art and graffiti, has teamed up with IMPRESO to explore the possibilities of 3D printing in bringing his vibrant graffiti tags to life in three dimensions. This collaboration seamlessly merges the raw energy and rebellious spirit of street art with the precision and versatility of technology, resulting in a unique and captivating fusion.

The process begins with BNS meticulously designing each sculpture, capturing the intricate details and expressive strokes of his graffiti tags. Using 3D printing technology, IMPRESO translates these designs into tangible, three-dimensional artworks. Layering materials and carefully selected colors, the sculptures retain the authenticity and vibrant energy of the original street art, immersing viewers in a new dimension of artistic expression.

BNS's 3D-printed graffiti sculptures reflect his personal influences and thematic explorations. His love for old-school hip-hop and the coexistence of urban landscapes and nature shines through in his artwork. The sculptures intricately blend elements of graffiti with flowers, plants, and crumbling facades, creating a visual dialogue that captures the dynamic interplay between man-made structures and the organic beauty within them. Each sculpture is rich with personal details, referencing significant buildings, surrounding flora, or meaningful tattoos, inviting viewers to uncover hidden stories within the artwork.

The collaboration between IMPRESO and BNS represents an exciting intersection of street art and technology. Through their joint exploration, they have pushed the boundaries of artistic expression, creating captivating 3D-printed graffiti sculptures that capture the essence of BNS's unique style. This collaboration is a testament to the power of merging traditional artistic forms with technological innovation, resulting in a dynamic fusion that resonates with art enthusiasts and street art aficionados alike.

Luis Aguilera was born Caracas, Venezuela and then moved to Miami, Florida as a teenager. A street artist by nature, Aguilera has always been intrigued by the innovative ways that photography can capture a moment, especially shots near water. With the use of various DJI drones, Aguilera has been able to capture moments that were only available to those who had access to a helicopter. With his drone photography, Aguilera has been able to capture stunning photos of the oceans in different parts of the world. His series, “Thalassophile”, which means lover of the oceans, has explored the beaches of Miami Beach and Fort Lauderdale in Florida as well as Ocho Rios, Jamaica. He’s also captured the exotic beaches in Waipo’o Valley, Waimea Beach, and Two Step in Hawaii. Mesmerized by the beachside scene and its ocean-adjacent atmosphere, this series focuses on the immensity and power of the ocean and how small people are in comparison. Capturing moments that feel authentic and true to the experience of being by the ocean, Aguilera’s series shows how no matter how different humans are, we are all captured the same 400 ft. in the air. The series also highlights how all people end up doing the same things when they see and interact with the water – whether that is sun bathing, lying in an inflatable tube, or enjoying the weather with friends, drinks and some food. The collectiveness of the aerial shots emphasize how people not only react to the ocean in similar ways, they also all love to do the same things at the beach. As Aguilera continues to focus on his drone photography and his “Thalassophile” series, he is looking to explore other regions as well. His next photos will be of the tulip fields and city of Amsterdam, Holland. He will also continue to explore the sands of Miami Beach and this summer the Caribbean beaches of the Dominican Republic.
