His plan is to make Kabul the graffiti capital of the world, one mural at a time. It won't be an easy task; there are kilometres of blast walls in the Afghan capital, symbols of the perilous security here.
Artist Kabir Mokamel and a group of supporters have started the project with their own money.
"Our first goal is to contribute something to beautify Kabul," he explains. "Plus, Kabul has all of these blast walls, and they look extremely ugly.
"Psychologically, when I come into Kabul I feel under siege. So we're painting some strategic pieces of art in order to educate the public.
"When you put a picture on a wall, the wall disappears and you are in a new space, that's very important for me."
