Home Carballo

Nove Noel is undoubtedly one of the main talents of Galician urban art. His style stands out for a strong expressiveness very influenced by  comics and a complex and graphically dense pictorial technique. 
In this impressive mural of great dimensions that he titled "Home Carballo" (Oak man), the Galician artist plays with a narrative composition formed by three vignettes that we can read from the left to the right and in which he narrates a small story that pays homage to our town. On the left, a semihuman male figure emerges (mix of tree and man), who springs from the rocks (dolmen) to change from tree to human. While on the right side, we see the inverse progression in the figure of an animal with feminine traits, halfway in a mutation from animal to human. The joint image represents the duality between the masculine and the feminine and the symbiosis between the human and the nature, mixing these two concepts to find a balance of coexistence and harmony between both realities. 
It is a tribute to the village of Carballo and to the tree itself, a deep reflection on the evolution of our species in relation to the environment in which we live.
