EMMANUEL JARUS was born in 1992 in Regina, Saskatchewan. In his works, the subject matter for his pieces are figures and portraits that are often caught in thoughts and meant to look not photorealistic but living and lifelike.

His spray paint techniques are his modern adaptations of classical oil painting technique. JARUS concentrates on color and face compositions that match the walls and surroundings he paints upon. His pieces can be spotted on the walls of the cities in Canada, The United States, and Mexico.

The Canadian street artist was given a super-sized wall in Gothenburg to express his creativity. The end-result is entitled “Looking Back”. Painted using spray-paint over the course of several days, this artwork is meant to invoke visual interest on something generally not focused on with “the human back”.
