About the artist
Here to "Paint a better planet". My art is a form of activism for animal rights and environmental protection. That's why I define it as vegan artivism . My illustrations question the superiority of humanity over other species and the planet and aim to eradicate animal exploitation. They express a vision that confronts Western popular culture and can generate cognitive dissonance in those who contemplate the works. Art can be transformative. In contrast to the conceptual strength of my works, their style is finer. I fuse figurative linear illustrations with abstract shapes and work with desaturated color palettes, mostly black, white and beige. My interventions in public spaces are more direct and striking, while my paintings have a more indirect, profound, subtle, delicate and elegant style. The main subjects of my illustrations are, on the one hand, the main victims of animal exploitation and, on the other, vegan people. “Most of my works are murals made with local materials and low ecological impact, water-based paint on walls.”
