The artist analyzes the evolution of his own work, noting that it had started as [lettered graffiti and murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enigmatic-graffiti). Jan Kaláb is one of the most recognized artists as a founding pioneer of [street art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hubbabubbabuilding) in the Prague art scene. He speaks about his first piece from 1993, stating “I did my first graffiti piece in the fall of 1993, when I was 15-years-old. I used to draw and I studied at an art high school, but I didn’t call myself an artist just yet. Graffiti was a mystery at that time, there were just a couple of pieces around Prague; no information, no magazines, no internet."
