In 1999 Jose Sabate, aka Pez, began painting on the walls of Barcelona and discovered that he and his work could "transmit good vibes and positivism to the passers-by on the streets." With his trademark, ever-present Fish, Pez and his journey of joy from classic graffiti to experimental pop art have made increasingly frequent stops on scattered world stages and in 2015 included a stop in Houston. Painting at Leeland and Emanuel Streets, next to @TheLondonPolice, Pez brought his self-identified "Barcelona Happy Style" to Texas to join the rest of the world-class cast assembled by @Gonzo247 for the inaugural @HUEMuralFestival. (The @doll_partzz_asylum piece to the left was painted later.) @pezbarcelona/

“I started to use the concept of the mask first for its aesthetic . . . In the case of the masks that are made in Mexico in particular, they serve as an instrument of interaction and spiritual communication between the animal-man and the forces of nature . . . When a character appears wearing a mask in my drawings or illustrations, it means that it is a phantom spirit.” – Neuzz, from Wynwood Walls
Born in Mexico City and of Mixtec-Zapotec descent, Migues Mejia, aka Neuzz, has always honored the cultural heritage and traditions of his parents and grandparents, but at the same time says he has been influenced by his interaction with graffiti and skateboarding culture. This piece was painted in 2015 at St Emanuel and Leeland Streets in Houston, for the HUE Festival. The 2017 festival that was originally scheduled for October has been postponed due to the tragic devastation caused across the city by Hurricane Harvey. @neuzz @huemuralfest
