Full Force by Indie184 – Color, Confidence, and Culture in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork
Full Force is a 2021 hand-pulled silkscreen print by Soraya Marquez, professionally known as Indie184. Printed on 320gsm Coventry Rag paper, this vibrant edition measures 35 x 20 inches and is hand deckled for a raw, authentic finish. Produced in a limited edition of 199 signed and numbered prints, the work embodies Indie184’s explosive style—an energetic mix of graffiti layering, pop portraiture, and personal empowerment themes. The centerpiece of the image features a mirrored pair of classic Hollywood-style female profiles, each accented with stylized lightning bolts extending from their heads. These powerful figures are framed by technicolor graffiti splashes, starbursts, bubble lettering, and paint drips, building a high-impact visual language that defines Marquez’s contribution to the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork movement.
Empowerment Through Street Art Feminism
Indie184, born Soraya Marquez in New York City, is a self-taught street artist with Dominican roots whose work is rooted in female empowerment, hip-hop culture, and graffiti heritage. In Full Force, the symmetrical female portraits symbolize strength and reflection, offset by bold lightning bolts and surrounded by graffiti chaos that communicates vitality, resilience, and creative force. The title Full Force is painted in large, expressive graffiti lettering across the bottom of the print, reinforcing the theme of power—emotional, creative, and cultural. Indie184’s ability to balance beauty, rebellion, and personal voice places her at the forefront of contemporary urban art, where women’s perspectives are increasingly asserting space and defining aesthetics within a historically male-dominated visual landscape.
Technique, Texture, and Visual Energy
The print utilizes traditional silkscreen methods to apply multiple layers of color, texture, and graphic components, each with high opacity and crisp detail. The 320gsm Coventry Rag paper provides both durability and an absorbent surface, ideal for capturing the complex interplay of hand-drawn elements, graffiti marks, and portrait stenciling. The hand deckled edges of the paper add an organic frame that enhances the street-born energy of the composition. Indie184’s print technique mirrors her large-scale mural work, translating the expressive power of wall art into a fine art format without compromising intensity. The result is a piece that is equally at home in a gallery or in a collector’s urban-inspired interior.
Indie184’s Fusion of Street Grit and Pop Glamour
Full Force represents Indie184’s approach to cultural fusion—where graffiti tagging meets high fashion, classic film icons meet spray paint aesthetics, and feminine elegance meets the raw voice of the streets. Her use of bold colors and layered design speaks to the spirit of the city, while her incorporation of figures, text, and symbols reflect themes of identity, transformation, and visibility. The work is not just decorative; it is declarative. It states that graffiti can be glamorous, that pop can be political, and that femininity can be fierce. In the broader world of Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork, Full Force exemplifies the power of visual expression to challenge, celebrate, and shift culture. Indie184 continues to expand her influence across continents while staying true to her roots—bold, unapologetic, and always in full force.
