"Existen más de 239 pueblos deshabitados en Castilla y León. La despoblación rural en esta región es un fenómeno que aumenta año tras año, obligando a que los residentes natales de estas tierras tengan que emigrar a pueblos o ciudades más grandes y apartarlos de sus orígenes. Este mural pretende concienciar al espectador de este fenómeno y de sus consecuencias, como la desaparición de la vida rural." | "There are more than 239 uninhabited villages in Castilla y León.

Growing up across from a lively train station near Frankfurt, my childhood was a vibrant blur of "colored trains." Each whistle sent me racing to the window, hoping to see a train splashed with a full spectrum of colors. My joy was boundless! As I ventured into young adulthood, I explored grand capitals—Moscow, Istanbul, Madrid, and Lisbon—soaking in rich urban artistry. This cultural infusion inspired me to organize a street art festival in La Bañeza, Spain.
