A street artist named TKV


She walks the streets at night, hiding from the law and the few antisocial elements who accost her on her journey, to leave her creative mark on the walls of Belgrade in Serbia. But, she’s careful not to touch the heritage buildings (for they have their own value), opting instead to use the walls of buildings in the lanes and side-streets as her canvas.

She’s almost 21 and her name’s Sashka, though she prefers to go by her adopted artist name of TKV, short for The Kraljica Vila, which means The Queen of Fairies. In an interview with the Dutch Submarine Channel, she says “she wants to add something beautiful to the world,” hoping to change the world with artistic magic.
