Artists see canvases everywhere. When a creator manifests himself through his art, it is an experience you can't stop looking at. There are anonymous artists who make themselves seen through their works on the corners of the city, leaving their creative mark. To capture these interventions is to appreciate the silent voice of an artist, a thought that challenges and questions, many times, society and how it works.
A mi juicio, considero que la ciudad se presta para ello, con escenarios que parecieran perfectos para tales obras. Pudiéramos pensar que estas obras son efímeras por la forma que se muestran, sin embargo, muchas he visto que se mantienen por periodos de tiempo considerables. La elaboración refleja su técnica y detalle, un lenguaje visual particular que los hace únicos y singulares. Este tipo de arte llama mucho mi atención, como fotógrafo, lo fundamental es capturar la esencia de la obra, pero también su contexto, para medir el atrevimiento del artista.
In my opinion, I consider that the city lends itself to this, with scenarios that seem perfect for such works. We might think that these works are ephemeral because of the way they are displayed, however, many I have seen remain for considerable periods of time. The elaboration reflects their technique and detail, a particular visual language that makes them unique and singular. This type of art attracts my attention, as a photographer, the fundamental thing is to capture the essence of the work, but also its context, to measure the boldness of the artist.
Los artistas urbanos tienen su técnica y creatividad, supongo que tienen su filosofía y significado para expresarse de la manera en que lo hacen. Sería interesante poder conocerlos, saber su modo de pensamiento y su visión artística y la intención de sus obras. De alguna manera es conocer a la ciudad a través del arte anónimo, posiblemente, sin embargo, muchos en la ciudad pudieran considerar esta comunicación artística como un acto vandálico. Como artista, estoy casi seguro que detrás de cada forma o colores hay una historia y una conexión personal que hace única la expresión de la obra.
Urban artists have their technique and creativity, I guess they have their philosophy and meaning to express themselves the way they do. It would be interesting to get to know them, to know their way of thinking and their artistic vision and the intention of their works. In a way it is getting to know the city through anonymous art, possibly, however, many in the city might consider this artistic communication as an act of vandalism. As an artist, I am almost certain that behind every shape or color there is a story and a personal connection that makes the expression of the work unique.
En cada caminata que hago en la ciudad, esta no me deja de sorprender con sus expresiones artísticas, siempre me tropiezo con algo nuevo. Es como un refrescamiento de la dinámica social, como si fuera una reinterpretación de los espacios conocidos, una inagotable creatividad urbana que se mantiene constante en silencio y teniendo mucho que decir. Fotografiar esas obras es como honrar la vitalidad y creatividad de esos artistas.
In every walk I take in the city, it never ceases to surprise me with its artistic expressions, I always stumble upon something new. It is like a refreshing of the social dynamics, as if it were a reinterpretation of the known spaces, an inexhaustible urban creativity that remains constant in silence and having a lot to say. Photographing these works is like honoring the vitality and creativity of these artists.

Hablo de mí
Creo en la creatividad y en el arte, en sus distintas manifestaciones, como herramientas de transformación. Considero que son pilares fundamentales para expresarnos y mostrarnos. El arte, con el tiempo, me ha dado una visión distinta del entorno y del mundo.
