Michal Škapa is one of the most prominent authors associated with the Czech graffiti scene. It belongs to the strong generation of writers that joined in the mid-1990s and has long been one of its leaders. Its qualities are also confirmed by the fact that it gradually managed to establish itself in normal gallery operation. He belongs to the circle of authors of the legendary Prague Trafačka, he has had a studio in Meet Factory for eleven years, with which he has also been cooperating for a long time. As part of his freelance work, he works in various formats, from murals - mural, through acrylic manuscript abstractions, airbrush figurative compositions, to site-specific installations and spatial objects. The epic of Gilgamesh is a strongly and plastically constructed set of simplified characters and scratches on the surface of the painting, which can evoke the ancestors of writing and thus outline the oldest epic of Sumerian literature.
