In ictu oculi

<div>This mural is a composition of acrobats, silhouettes in black and white that hang from colored loops, both of geometric shapes. These forms are close to op art (optical art), which is characterized by creating optical effects by playing with resources such as the background-figure, or the contrast between colors.&nbsp;<br>In the upper part of the mural, adapting to the shape of the building and its elements, such as the windows (which were also one more resource in the composition) a larger scale figure appears accompanied by stars. The hat, the exaggerated eyelashes, the gesture, remind the figures of the world of the show, that behind the masks, the make-up and the costumes create a magical scenography.<br>In the lower right, on the wall attached to the house, we find the representation of Pierrot. This character represents the clown wounded in love, Colombina's boyfriend, with a white face, melancholic and adorned with a large gorget. The background plays again with geometric shapes, creating an illusion of movement or volume.<br>Formally, it is a composition that plays with flat but vibrant colors and simple geometric shapes, creating a light, ethereal composition, just like the movements of acrobats hanging in the air.<br>This artwork is part of Derrubando muros con pintura 2014, more info at:<br>https://derrubandomuros.gal/</div>

Saltimbanquis

<div>O Sistema arises from a didactic and artistic project of C.E.I.P Fogar de Carballo (Primary school). The center aims to turn the walls into another support for students to learn through art and at the same time to introduce the project Derrubando Muros con Pintura to the school.&nbsp;<br>The theme of this first mural is the Solar System, which will be followed by other interventions on human evolution or the environment.&nbsp;<br>The response of the students to the initiative was very good, so the artist decided to participate by painting a small wall in front of this one with a theme chosen by the students (the result was extraterrestrial).&nbsp;<br>According to Emi, it is very important in urban art to create dialogue with the public,&nbsp; this project is becoming more understood and respected and we must also add a didactic purpose.<br>This artwork was part of Derrubando muros con pintura 2017.</div>
