About the artist
Slim Safont (Berga, Barcelona, 1995) is a visual artist and muralist with a degree in Fine Arts from the University of Barcelona. His foray into art began at an early age, instinctively exploring the world of urban art and painting since he was 12. Since 2017, his name has been present on the art scene both nationally and internationally. He is the co-founder and member of Malpaís, a multifaceted off-space space in Barcelona dedicated to artistic production. Malpaís promotes an annual program of exhibitions and projects that expand the boundaries of the contemporary scene. His work is distinguished by a constant pictorial investigation that seeks to capture a personal and critical vision of the social issues he considers relevant to his environment. Through figurative and realistic language, with a meticulous study of color, Safont develops compositions that generate awareness and engage with the context in which they are inserted. Specializing in interventions in public spaces, his mural work explores narratives linked to everyday life, capturing the essence of each community through portraiture, the human figure, and landscape. His aesthetic approach, influenced by photography and a deep chromatic analysis, allows him to create evocative atmospheres with a great visual impact. In addition to his work in urban art, he has participated in numerous international mural projects and has exhibited his work in various art venues, ranging from galleries and conventional exhibition spaces to more alternative offerings.
