Dan Bonssai261. Dan BonssaiBorn in the neighbourhood of Alameda de Osuna in Madrid, Daniel has become a multidisciplinary creative who works in the field of art and design. Inspired since he was a child by the works of Boamistura, collective that emerged in his neighbourhood, he started drawing and becoming interested in urban art at a very young age. After graduating in Industrial Design Engineering, he specialised in Ephemeral Architecture and participatory design methodologies. In 2019 he learns the techniques of muralism and it is from then on when he decides to dedicate himself professionally to urban art. Currently his work focuses mainly on large format works establishing a dialogue between communities, art, the city and the rural environment. In the same way that a small bonsai preserves the essence of a large tree, the Bonssai project aims to give voice to and connect with the most authentic and essential part of certain places or people, and transform it into something greater by using urban art as a medium to represent in large format. Symbols, nature and the human are the soul of these surrealist creations that aim to surprise and move the viewer.
David Villaécija262. David VillaécijaDavid Villaécija has developed a unique visual language that integrates emotion, memory, and a profound reflection on the urban environment. His work occupies a space between Graffiti, Street art, Muralism, and Visual Narrative, exploring identities, cultures, and human landscapes from a poetic, rigorous, and personal perspective. A self-taught artist, he practices with full creative freedom, which allows him to consolidate an authentic and clearly recognizable style. Each project incorporates a fundamental narrative dimension. Stories, legends, and characters from diverse cultures, particularly those linked to remote or endangered contexts, are intertwined with his focus on faces marked by the passage of time, highlighting the beauty of wear and the depth of lived experience. The gaze is central to his creative process. Whether human or mechanical, it serves as the starting point for the message that each work conveys. From it, Villaécija develops images that engage with memory, construct narratives, and reveal identities, emphasizing the human dimension present in every gesture and on every wall. In this way, each work becomes a bridge between the viewer and the story it contains. One work and a path in constant evolution.

Mr Fijodor269. Mr FijodorFijodor Benzo – alias MrFijodor. Urban artist and illustrator since the mid-90s. Mrfijodor started his research into the world of signs fascinated by the gestural and cultural spontaneity of Graffiti Writing. After an initial approach with lettering and several experiments within the public space (what is now commonly known as Street Art), he arrives to a more personal conception of art. With maturity he reaches an artistic awareness that directs his investigation towards illustration. Mrfijodor becomes therefore a narrator of our time thanks to his creativity, creating artworks whose subjects are usually elementary forms that carry messages of engagement under an ironic smile; at the base there is an easy interpretation, in order to always be able to dialogue with the viewer. Very often, his works are marked by a social critic or they convey environmental problems, by using a childishly amazed smile as a weapon and a spontaneous and direct style, free from any complex technical elements.

Elgee270. ElgeeElgee is a french artist based in Paris and Lisbon. She specializes in spray painted realistic decors. Her universe is made of colorful and contrasted visions, powerful allegories staged in very cinematographic compositions. After an academic background and studies at Ecole du Louvre, she finds her inspiration in classic painting, as much as in graffiti and urban art. Her work is also marked by travels and local cultures, mythology and religions. She realizes custom decors for businesses and individuals, as well as big murals in Paris and abroad.
Javier Barriga271. Javier BarrigaChilean painter and muralist whose work blends the tradition of figurative painting with muralism techniques, centered on the theme of the female figure. His characters—often portrayed from behind, at rest, with intricate hairstyles and garments of lace and translucent fabrics—emerge from dark, atmospheric backgrounds that create intimate and evocative scenes. Through chiaroscuro and a refined sense of austerity, his compositions invite open emotional interpretation, allowing each viewer to construct their own narrative. Barriga has completed mural projects in several countries, including the United States, France, Spain, and Georgia, expanding the international reach of his work. He is considered a prominent figure in the international muralist scene, and a key figure in large scale realism. Whether in public spaces or studio formats, his practice is distinguished by its visual sensitivity, technical rigor, and ability to create timeless images which resonate with what is deeply human and universal.
KMG272. KMGKMG is a Scottish based artist, illustrator, printer and painter. Her curious nature leads her work to explore themes ranging from the precarious to the mundane, often of a subversive nature.

With a strong belief in the power of art, KMG also regularly works with community groups, healthcare and educational institutions to help make art as accessible as possible.

Mercedes Chiesa 275. Mercedes Chiesa Visual artist and muralist born in Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego. My work is deeply inspired by the wild southern landscapes, nautical history, native fauna, flora, and Fuegian territory. I blend muralism, large-scale illustration, and low reliefs using materials like resin and gesso, creating pieces that engage in dialogue with their surroundings. Through mixed media and a contemporary lens, I explore environmental themes, firmly believing that the power of an image comes with great responsibility: to transform, raise awareness, and inspire change.

7th Pencil279. 7th Pencil7th Pencil, is best known for her oversized artworks brought to life through bold, complementary colour palettes. Hailing from rural Devon, Melanie draws deeply on the symbolism of nature as a source of healing, beauty, and freedom. Flowers appear throughout her work as metaphors for feminine beauty and growth.

Melanie’s work is rooted in strength, resilience, and optimism—qualities that have helped her navigate life and that echo powerfully through her art. 7th Pencil has been creating large scale street art for 15 years, working for brands including Heineken, The Body Shop, Magners and Kappa.
Marcelowart280. MarcelowartEnglisch: Marcelowart became aware of street art through hip hop culture and has become increasingly interested in the topic of art. With the Salenstein project he had the opportunity to try out a lot of things and pursue his urge to experiment, which characterizes many of his current works of art and installations. Small pots with watercolors that are washed out by the rain (Rainpainting) and plaster figures that play with colors and materials are reminiscent of transience and freedom. German: Marcelowart ist durch die Hip Hop Kultur auf Streetart aufmerksam geworden und hat sich in Zuge dessen immer mehr mit dem Thema Kunst auseinander gesetzt. Mit dem Projekt Salenstein hatte er die Möglichkeit, vieles auszuprobieren und seinem Drang zu Experimenten nachzugehen, was viele seiner aktuellen Kunstwerke und Installationen prägen. Kleine Töpfe mit Wasserfarben, die vom Regen ausgespült werden (Rainpainting) und Gipsfiguren, die mit Farben und Material spielen erinnern an Vergänglichkeit und Freiheit.
