2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 100 Artwork Size 20x13

"In 1989 I wrote my writer’s name for the first time. After all those years I still see this lettering as a self-portrait. By concentrating on a certain idea, the technique or a style, by working on a certain piece for a long time frame, by totally engaging in this process, you get to know a lot about yourself and your personality. And this of course can be seen again in the works, that I create.I wanted to realize something special: The series of these three prints is chosen so that you can reproduce the entire spectrum of my work. My use of the name DAIM is becoming more and more complex in them. My development as a human being strongly corresponds with this process. It has something to do with personal maturing, the general situation of aging." - Daim

Wave Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print by DAIM

Wave by DAIM is a high-energy composition that exemplifies the artist’s groundbreaking approach to three-dimensional graffiti lettering. The limited edition archival pigment print on museum fine art paper captures the fluidity, motion, and architectural complexity that define DAIM’s signature style. The interplay of sharp angles, splashes of color, and structural layering in this work transforms traditional graffiti into an illusion of tangible, sculptural depth.

Three-Dimensional Lettering and Graffiti Innovation

DAIM, whose real name is Mirko Reisser, has been a pioneer in three-dimensional graffiti since the early 1990s. His mastery of light, shadow, and spatial manipulation allows him to create graffiti pieces that appear to extend beyond the canvas or wall. Wave showcases this expertise by presenting fragmented yet cohesive lettering that seems to explode outward in motion. The color palette in Wave consists of electric blues, acid greens, and deep grays, creating a contrast that enhances the sense of motion and force within the piece. The angular shards and fluid paint splatters evoke a feeling of energy colliding with structure, mirroring the natural yet chaotic movement of an ocean wave. DAIM’s ability to balance rigid precision with organic fluidity elevates his graffiti style into a form of sculptural abstraction.

Personal Identity and Artistic Evolution

For DAIM, his graffiti name is more than just a tag or artistic signature—it is an ever-evolving self-portrait. He has stated that his approach to lettering reflects his personal and creative growth over time. As he refines and expands the way he writes and interprets his name, he captures his own evolution as an artist and as a person. Wave is part of a curated series designed to represent DAIM’s journey through graffiti, design, and conceptual art. The increasing complexity of his compositions over the years illustrates a deepening of skill, perspective, and self-awareness. His process involves methodical deconstruction and reconstruction of letterforms, mirroring the natural cycles of creation, transformation, and renewal.
