Separately, Darius' personal mural achievements have been recognized on multiple occasions by the New York Times, WTTW, NPR and other national news sources. Darius' personal work continues to push the envelope between mural and monument, beacon of the past or sign of the times. Darius is always attempting to use the medium of painting as a powerful device that not only changes our perception of space but attempts to embrace our spirits in a gentle manner. Recently Darius has achieved this goal by blurring the lines of visual- education tools, sign painting and activism. By using paintings to create safe spaces for thinking, teaching and feeling Darius intends to do his part in contributing to the relevance of big mural painting in his hometown of Chicago and cities all over the world.
