This is part of a series of slideshows in Meniscus Magazine featuring local and international artists at the POW! WOW! Hawaii 2020 festival in Honolulu. Artists took over the city – mostly concentrating on the neighborhood of Kaka’ako – from Feb. 10-15, creating colorful murals indicative of their signature styles. Each slideshow features a progression of in-progress artwork up to its completion.

“I mainly paint nature and people as motifs and want to express the life of this world,” YOHEYY stated on his website. “Women are often used as a motif as a symbol to create that life.” (photo by Kwai Chan / Meniscus Magazine)
