QUE BOLA PODCAST EP. 72: Ahol Sniffs Glue; Visual Creative Artist

Episode 72 of The Que Bola Podcast features an interview with
Ahol Sniffs Glue, a visual artist based out of Miami, Florida.
Ahol is known for his unique style of art, which blends disparate
themes from mass media, popular culture, and marginalized pockets
of society. His work often draws inspiration from the urban
environment and systems of society that dehumanize its
inhabitants. In this podcast, Ahol shares his journey as an
artist, his inspirations, and the themes that drive his work.


Background: Ahol Sniffs Glue is a South Florida native who has
been creating art since he was a child. He started out as a
graffiti artist, but soon transitioned into more traditional
forms of art. Ahol's style is characterized by its rawness and
simplicity, yet it conveys complex themes and emotions. His work
often features drowsy eyes, which are a reflection of his unique
vision of life, labor, and unrequited love of the mean streets of
Miami.


 In the podcast, Ahol discusses his background and how he
got started as an artist. He talks about his influences, which
include other artists, music, and the urban environment. He also
discusses the challenges he has faced as an artist, including the
commercialization of his work and the pressures of creating art
for an audience. Ahol's work often addresses themes related to
the urban environment and the systems of society that dehumanize
its inhabitants. He talks about how his art is a reflection of
the world around him.


Ahol also talks about the process of creating his art, which he
describes as a meditative experience. He discusses the importance
of intuition and spontaneity in his work, and how he often relies
on his subconscious to guide him. One of the most interesting
parts of the podcast is when Ahol discusses his use of drowsy
eyes in his art in his new project "Geographies Of Trash". He
explains how through cycling in the Pandemic he was able to
transform ordinary trash off the streets of Miami in to art
"Regalito". The ultimate Miami souvenir. It has become a
scavenger hunt with first notice provided through his Discord and
then his Instagram account. 


Episode 72 of The Que Bola Podcast featuring Ahol Sniffs Glue is
a fascinating discussion about the life and work of a unique and
talented artist. Ahol's raw yet instantly recognizable street
murals reflect his unique vision of life, labor, and love of the
mean streets of Miami. Through his art, Ahol challenges the
status quo and uses his creativity to resist the dehumanizing
systems of society. His use of drowsy eyes in his art is a
powerful symbol that speaks to the exhaustion and ennui that many
people feel living in a big city. Overall, this podcast is a
must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of art,
culture, and society.
