 Between October and November 2022, Barcelona based artistic center B-Murals curated and produced Osona Artimur Festival, a never been done initiative of the Department of Tourism of Osona (an idyllic region up north BCN full of rivers, mountains and beautiful landscapes), in collaboration with the Catalan company Transit Projectes.

19 well renowned artists from the international muralism scene, the Spanish contemporary art world and some local guns selected through open calls and participatory processes, intervened the streets and the public space of 5 different villages - Prats de Lluçanès, Manlleu, Sant Julià de Vilatorta, Sant Bartomeu del Grau and Alpens -, supported by an extensive production team which included assistants, runners, photographers and filmers.

Satone (@_satone_ ) is a German graffiti writer with a long international career, recognised both for the variety and intensity of his graffiti interventions and his more recent curated works.
Throughout his career, Satone has been able to continuously transform his art and renew his style through abstraction and influences from a variety of styles and disciplines.
He has evolved towards abstraction by seeking the iconographic value in graffiti letters to produce unique designs.
He began to develop the characteristic style that we recognise in this mural of Sant Bartomeu about 12 years ago, when he started studying Italian futurism. In this mural and in many of his works, Satone achieves a sense of movement and speed through the distortion of design and form.
10 years after collaborating for the first time with the Difusor team in Open Walls festival, Satone presents his mural "DRIFT", a unique large-scale work located in the heart of Sant Bartomeu.
DRIFT is a chromatographic abstraction of the landscape of Sant Bartomeu and its countryside (the thematic chosen by the village), with the aim of inviting color back into this village shaped by its industrial past. Most of the forms that seem abstract to the eye are the result of transformation and distortion of natural elements that surround Sant Bartomeu and can be easily found in rural contexts.

Satone es un escritor de grafiti aleman de larga trayectoria internacional, reconocido tanto por la variedad e intensidad de sus intervenciones en el graffiti, como en sus trabajos comisariados más recientes.
A lo largo de su carrera, Satone ha sabido evolucionar en su arte y renovar su estilo constantemente a través de la abstracción y de influencias de otros estilos y disciplinas.
Ha evolucionado hacía la abstracción, buscando el valor iconográfico de las letras del graffiti para producir diseños.
Empezó a desarrollar el estilo característico que le reconocemos en este mural de Sant Bartomeu hace unos 12 años, cuando se interesó al futurismo italiano. En este mural y en muchas de sus obras, Satone logra una sensación de movimiento y velocidad a través de la distorsión las formas y del diseño.
10 años después de colaborar por primera vez con el equipo Difusor en Open Walls, Satone presenta su mural „DRIFT“, una obra de gran envergadura ubicada en el corazon de Sant Bartomeu.
DRIFT es una abstracción cromatográfica del paisaje de Sant Bartomeu y su campo (el eje temático elegido por el pueblo), con objetivo de volver a invitar el color en este pueblo de pasado industrial. La mayoria de las formas que el ojo identifica como abstractas son el resultado de un trabajo de transformación y distorsión de elementos de la naturaleza que rodean sant bartomeu y se pueden encontrar facilmente en contextos rurales.
