Meet the graffiti artist Foma, one of the only women known in the field. 37 years old, a native of the former Soviet Union, a graduate of Shenkar in the textile design department. Started creating street art in 2007 and teamed up with Klone, Zero Cents and Know Hope when the three were already working together. Foma deals with issues such as blurring gender boundaries, deviation and relationships. She presents personal works, lots of self-portraits and female images. Engaging in gender roles, sexuality, social norms and anomalies has accompanied her from the beginning.

Foma's figures are usually embossed on stickers or directly on the wall. She draws on paper and then pastes the paper on the street. The figures themselves are painted in black and white and in dynamic and expressive lines. In many of the characters it seems as if it starts with a line on one side of the character and after many twists and facial features, the line reaches the other side of the character, in a kind of free drawing.
