When he was asked what you will do in the future he said “the future belongs to god and we think everything must be done now and today we’ll see about tomorrow, tomorrow. He define self expression as “we can’t stand still we must find forms we throw outside always”. He also says “we think god's creation is perfect, everyone needs a partner but today things are more dispersed. Humans are in need of something to satisfy them”. Also Os Gemeos says, "We are using different flags painted with non-traditional colors. The idea is one world one voice, no borders, no separation, just everything and everyone working together for a single cause that is a better world."
Their latest work is a wall in Miami, Florida painted for Art Basel Miami Beach. Before that was a painting of 16 at 10 meters in the centre of Heerlen, the Netherlands.
