The Arab Spring has engendered a new wave of artistic expression in Tunisia.
eL Seed is a French-Tunisian graffiti artist who has been commissioned to paint on walls, from streets to mosques, all over the world.
He lives in Montreal.
He actually calls his art “caligraffiti” because he uses Arabic calligraphy in what he paints on walls and buildings.
eL Seed says the Arab Spring has unleashed a flood of graffiti in Tunisia.
