Max aka ARIVE, is recognized as a key figure in the development of Miami's graffiti style and culture with the famous MSG Crew. He spent his formative years in Wynwood, which was quite different before the influx of restaurants and retail stores. He began tagging walls in the early 1980s, inspired by his older cousin, RIVSKI. He went on to become one of the most technically skilled graffiti artists of his time, leaving a lasting impact on future artists.
Max embraces the chance to merge different art forms, skillfully blending various theories, styles, and mediums. He believes that no single form of art is superior to another, and that they can all come together to create vibrant new compositions that move away from traditional norms.
