Life comes from a water drop. Mafraq, North Jordan.
Hygiene is a big issue in kids over here, through murals like this one we explain to the kids the importance of having good hygiene habits and saving water as they get involved in the painting.

Irbid, North Jordan.
First mural in the Syrian border done!
“Mi Casa es tu Casa” (My house is your house) is a mural in collaboration with the kids from Za'Atari Village about respect, hospitality and sharing. Inside the circles of colour, children from Syria and Jordan drew pictures of what their house meant to them. The handshake represent generosity and gratitude between two different nations during this difficult time when sharing is crucial.
We are still waiting for the spraypaint so we have to work only with brushes, which takes a little bit longer. Funny and messy though, kids love it.
I’m just starting a second mural in Irbid, second largest city in Jordan. More photos soon.
Thanks to all the kids and people involved, AptArt, Unicef and Acted.
Just arrived to Jordan, brought by an initiative of AptArt through Acted and Unicef.
I will be one month here painting murals with guetto and refugee kids that just escaped from the Syrian hell. Keep you posted!
I should update this.
I recently got a commission for painting a mural in a brand new Spanish restaurant in Dubai, Salero.
Spanish food is great, I feel far from home, the restaurant looks great and they pay good, so why not.
I been locked for some days sketching and listening to my favorite flamenco songs while working in a proposal based in Flamenco music and Spanish lifestyle, since I feel very related with both. This main mural is a scene of a Soleá por Bulerías, one of the multiple kinds of flamenco music, where Soleares (Soleá, a sad type of song) and Bulerías (a happy, speedy and party type of song) are mixed.
They say they loved my proposal, so we instantly set everything up to start as soon as possible. Since I was looking for a clean result I decided working with brush and acrylic paint instead of spray paint or marker. I hope you like it, Olé.
A good day at the park.
Collaboration with El Seed and 400 more other people who joined our workshop at The Archive Dubai.
One more public art piece in Dubai, oh yeah.

A good thing about the workshops is that kids can become your assistants at the same time that they learn, so at the end of the day you don’t need to have a chaotic scenario made by hyperactive creatures.
First look at my show The B Side in Tashkeel, Dubai.
We are ready for the party!

Just came across this review on the internet, great to see my graphic poppin out from the computer to the slopes…
CNN just posted an article about the scene in Dubai, of course we are talking about street art, so we need a non-sense reference to Banksy.
