This wall was created based on the rural environment of the little town where it is placed. The concept, the colors and the decision to leave the original concret background is to follow the original color scheme used by my husband ( Treze) who painted the right side of the wall 2 years before (2016) and who sadly passed away in 2018; that`s the reason for me was important to respect and adapt my design creating something to complete the spot without to take off importance to his original design, leaving space between both pieces.

In a village of just over 400 inhabitants, more than 120 murals have transformed Penelles into a remarkable open-air gallery.
Created in 2016 and organised by Binomic.cat, with the support of the Ajuntament de Penelles, GarGar Festival brings street art in all it's forms into the heart of rural Catalonia.
The festival has welcomed artists from all over Catalonia and Spain, alongside some excellent muralists from abroad. Their work can be found throughout the village, creating an ever-changing collection of murals in a setting where contemporary urban art meets rural life.
What makes GarGar so special is precisely this contrast: a tiny agricultural village becoming a canvas for artists from near and far. It is still something of a hidden gem for street-art lovers, where you can wander quiet rural streets and unexpectedly discover an impressive concentration of murals. Really unique!
More than just a mural festival, GarGar has become an inspiring example of how art can bring new energy to a rural community while preserving the character and identity of the place.
