#0017 BOXI TRIXI - PURSUING PEACE THROUGH CREATIVITY!

Send us Fan MailWelcome to the Creative Nowhere Land podcast. On this episode, we're joined by Boxi Trixi.  Originally from Argentina, Boxi grew up around skateboarding and the hardcore punk music movement of the 1990s. Here, he developed his love of music and the 'give it a go' attitude that would shape one hell of a creative journey. Most well known for his distinct Neo Primitive style of art and paste up characters, that can be seen in cities all over the world.  Boxi creates power figures or totems that he hopes the viewer builds a relationship with and can inspire them in their lives. And, despite prolifically producing art and being a major contributor to the global paste up scene for over 20 years, Boxi would still say that he doesn't consider himself an artist.He would say he's definitely not a Chef either. Despite spending years working in some of the best restaurants in both Argentina and Spain. And he would say he's not a Musician.  Despite discovering a revolutionary new instrument, which opened doors allowing him to perform all over the world and collaborate with famous musicians for more than 15 years.So how does Boxi describe himself?Well, in this episode we go into his remarkable journey from Argentina to the UK through caves, kitchens, and concert halls. His story reveals that no creative path needs to be linear, and pursuing what brings you peace can create ripples of positive energy to everyone you encounter.This episode is full of stories of resilience, adaptability, sacrifice and a little bit of luck along the way.  So enjoy and we hope it inspires you in some way!Check out the links below to explore some of Boxi's work as you listen.BOXI TRIXI INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/boxitrixi/Support the showCNL WEBSITE: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/SIGN UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER: https://www.creativenowhereland.com/joinCNL INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/creativenowhereland/CNL PODCAST MUSIC: https://www.instagram.com/jjodabeats/
