Hope

Hope is a graffiti artist from New Belgrade, active since the late 1990s. He first painted in Blok 44 in 1998, inspired by his friend Noiz, and has been shaping the visual identity of Blok 45 ever since. Influenced by hardcore music and older writers, Hope developed a clean, precise style that contrasts with the city’s rough concrete surfaces.

He often paints with Cash and Junk, staying independent rather than joining any crew — something he sees as rare today. “The game is open to everyone, the only question is who will last until the end”, he says in his 2021 interview to Forty Fivers.
