Born in The Netherlands, Ard Doko has become a prolific artist within urban art. Taking the international street art scene by storm since the age of 19, self-taught artist Doko has shown alongside world-renown artists in community projects, galleries, and art fairs. His artworks have a unique aesthetic, unveiling societal chaos and beauty, crystalizing taboos in a sublime form. Ard says" the title of the piece is 'I won't back down'. An ode to all the brave kids that are currently undergoing treatment for whatever life has thrown to them. The amount of strength that some of these kids have is admirable to say the least. I don't know how I would have responded at that age."
