SAM3

Born in Elche, Spain, SAM3  currently lives and works in Madrid, Spain. His large street murals are  certainly hard to miss saying the least and can be found across the  world.  He is an artist that paints big as well as small  shadows and silhouettes in his urban surroundings. Sometimes ironic, other times poetic, always thought-provoking, his work is more than a pretty picture.

Voluntas

The piece shows how the head controls the body, while the body keeps the  head above the water. As usual SAM3 works with philosophical concepts in a poetic and narrative way. 

Mural Tríptico / Sam3 and Blu  

The black silhouettes that evoke nature by Sam3 and Blu turned these walls into an outdoor gallery that adorns one of the banks of the Manzanares River of Madrid. As the artist has commented, his work is mostly on the street because he believes that art must be spontaneous and available to all without passing economic or cultural filters. This work was one of the projects promoted by Madrid Wall Management Office. This "office" was created in 2010 to bring together Madrid urban artists with communities of neighbors and owners of walls who are interested in street art.

Arte al Cubo

Since October 2010 the passageway of Plaza de los Cubos has stopped to be a gloomy passage to become a reference point for Madrid urban art. The rehabilitation of this place, a meeting point for many young people, was carried out by street artists through a project named Arte al Cubo. The 10 artists who participated in the first edition of the project in 2017 (Antonyo Marest, Concreto, Digo Diego, Elbi Elem, Julieta XLF, Rosh333, Sabek, Son3k, Susie Hammer, JM Yes) were joined by Chylo, Spogo and Doa Oa for the second edition of the project in 2018.

Naone

Regando el barrio: Naone / Vallekas Paisaje Urbano Project.

This traditionally working-class neighborhood, south of the river, is attracting attention for its small-town feel and reasonable prices. Vallecas was a separate town (until it was annexed by Madrid in 1950) which contributes to its neighborhood atmosphere.

This mural, created thanks to the street artist team of the Muros Compartidos Project, is about the pride to belong to a long-dated working class neighborhood and the need to find new strengths to permit the neighborhood to continue to flourish. Birth, learning, growth. The woman symbolizes birth, the source of life. The flowers refer to youth, happiness and good future. The boy who plays the guitar symbolizes the  learning of his artistic skills. He sits on a construction helmet to remind us of our working roots that we should never forget, even though  the Vellecas neighborhood has grown and changed. The Hip Hop Wild Style letters represent the sophistication of modern architecture. Naone is an artist from southern Madrid, Spain. His best disciplines are graphic design, modeling 3d, illustration, painting and photography. His style is characteristic because he combines elements from Street Art, Pop Art and Minimalism.

Ricardo Cavolo

Ricardo Cavolo is a Spanish artist based in sunny Barcelona. His eclectic international style is based on relationships with folk art, traditional and modern tattoo culture, european religious imagery and the tribal arts. Cavolo’s art is all about stories, characters and their experiences across time. Utilizing art as a complex narrative, Cavolo often focuses on portraiture. These depictions propel protagonists to champion their unique tales. Referencing religious and historical fiction illustrations, his use of symmetry and symbolism connect to a modern and playful audience.

A more than 50 sq mt mural that houses numerous representative symbols of the most aspects of the district of Getafe, such as the Cerro de los Ángeles - the location where Getafe was founded is the geographical center of Spain, or Xatafi, goddess name originally given to Getafe in the year 1150. Xatafi comes from the Arabic word Jata, and means "something long", it is believed that it made reference to the town's long main street.

Animalitoland

Animalitoland is the visual universe of Graciela Gonçalves Da Silva, Argentinian/Portuguese street artist who creates creatures, gives them feelings and adopts shapes and colors. In the last 10 years she has been working in animation, video games, toys and graphic design, experimenting, cultivating his own visual language with which he shapes everything he feels as creatures. 5 years ago she decided to move his imaginary to the street, without knowing how much this would impact both artistically and personally.

Nano4814

Circus: Juan Abia (Nano4814) / Vallekas Paisaje Urbano Project (2012) On a former advertisement for a plumber, the artist painted 4 characters united together to form a circle as if they were circus artists.

Juan Abia is an artist born in the small Galician town of Vigo, where he started to use the streets as a place for self-expression in the mid 90s. After studying fine arts and passing through a brief formative stage in London, in such prestigious schools as Saint Martins School of Arts and the London College of Printing, he moves to Madrid in 2004 where he develops his work as an artist, exhibiting in galleries and participating in different projects both in Spain and abroad. He is part of the artistic team El Equipo Plástico, together with Eltono, Sixe and Nuria Mora. This group arose naturally after coinciding in various art projects. United by mutual admiration and with the intention of bringing their street influences further into the development of their work, they decided to formalize the union. Next to Centro Municipal de Mayores, Calle de la Sierra de Palomeras 5, Vellecas, Madrid.

Pelucas

El Puerro Vallekano: Pelucas / Vallekas Paisaje Urbano Project (2012). Pelucas, also known as ‘Pilas Bubbles’ from Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel, is a Galician artist from Vigo. After a long career painting and illustrating all over the world, this multidisciplinary artist has developed his personal style that makes him one of the most internationally recognized urban artists. His double appreciation for the abstract and the figurative, his particular mastery of color, while his taste for double images and trompe l'oeil, makes his art complex and funny at the same time. With his peculiar humor, the artist has placed his small anthropomorphic figures in different attitudes at the heart of El Puerro Vallekano as symbols of a burlesque vision of reality. There is an allusion to the good people he met in the community of Vallekas, people without many economic resources but so rich in human values.

JAZ

The Rapture: Franco Fasoli (JAZ) / Vallekas Paisaje Urbano Project.  The impressive murals stand out at the back of the big square showing a burly Minotaur that kidnaps a horse, first carrying it under his arm and then carrying it on his back. Two figurative murals both painted in sepia tones. Long been inspired by his native Mexican-Argentinean culture, Franco Fasoli, known as Jaz, uses these mythological figures to express the conflict in our modern societies between the global dominant culture and the sub-cultures such as street art.

Gonzalo Borondo

Arte contra Represión: Gonzalo Borondo / Paisaje Tetuan Project. Tétuan, a Madrid neighborhood named after the Moroccan city of the same name, has an historical presence of immigrants, from 19th century Spanish country people to today Latin Americans.  Calle Marqués de Viana has become nowadays an icon of Madrid street art, and Borondo’s work is probably the most representative of the street. At No.52 you can see  these 2 enormous figures, a man and a woman, with their hands tied behind their backs. Both have resigned expressions. A powerful mural meant to condemn the police brutality and suppression of the 15-M anti-austerity movement (the Indignados movement). The Spanish artist explores the lights and the shadows of his tormented characters using the scratch technique. These tormented characters, that first decorated the walls of Rome and Madrid, gained him international recognition.

Born in Valladolid in 1989, Borondo went to live in Segovia, and when he was 14 he moved to Madrid where he later attended the Art School and the Academy of Fine Arts. After graduation, he continued his fine arts studies in Madrid Complutense University. We may say that art has always run through his veins since his father was a restorer of religious art, and he started drawing when he was still a child. Madrid was the place where he began doing his first graffiti tags to move quickly to mural art exploring light and shadow and using the scratching technique. People have always been the center of his art which he manages to paint with amazing realism. Calle de tl Marqués de Viana 52, Tétuan
