Pedro Veloso/ Barcelona

I am developing my own style based on my experiences,, creating alternative worlds and characters., I try as much as possible to pull the most of the inspiration out of my head, I believe that is the best way to create something unique.

Doeke van Nuil/ Netherlands

Do I love Barcelona? Yes I do! If I hade all the money I would pack my bags right now and take a plane. The first time I visit Barcelona was in 2009, I was visiting friends. Short time after, I decided Barcelona would be the perfect place for an Erasmus! (Exchange program) In 2010 I went to Barcelona for 6 months to live, go to school (Art school Escola Massana- direction Illustration) and have fun. And fun it was. In those 6 months I discovered a lot about Barcelona and its people. I love the food (God, do I miss does tapas!) and off course the weather.

My concept for this project will be this: I will draw my favourite memories and moments from the times a was on Barcelona. Everything is possible: People on the beach, Moghito’s, food, people having fun, cycling next to the beach. In the attachment I will show you an illustration I made some time ago. It’s the way I picture my wall: A big green circle with a lot of drawings in black about Barcelona. With this plan I will make a wall where people can look at for a long time: there’s is so much to see and discover, I think it will look great on a wall. With its colours is not to much: Just one bright colour (I like mint-green) and black. Simple, cool but super awesome!

Eduardo Pagan/ New York

“Expresionismo abstracto de colores caribeños inpirado en paisajes urbanos .”( Artist concept statement)

Anton Garcia Seoane/ Barcelona

“Antón Seoane a.k.a. Roke esta caracterizado por ser un escritor de graffiti polifacético que realiza todo tipo de creaciones: Bombing, Murales (tanto letras como personajes), Street Art, etc. Alternando uno u otro según temporadas. También realiza ilustraciones, fotografías y diseño gráfico.
Hace más de 5 años se inicia en el tatuaje, influenciando al resto de sus creaciones con la estética de esta disciplina, basándose en temáticas como la vida, la muerte, el amor, el odio, etc. Su icono es una calavera basada en el cine de animación y la estética mejicana. Bajo el sello de “Skull is cool!”, la repite hasta la saciedad en sus creaciones.

Antón Seoane a.k.a. Roke is a multidisciplinary graffiti writer. He does Throw ups, Walls (letters and characters), Street Art, etc. He does illustration, photography and graphic design also.
He is tattoo artist since five years ago, influencing the rest of his creations with the aesthetics of this discipline, based on themes such as life, death, love, hate, etc. Its label is a skull inspired by animation movies and Mexican culture. Whit the “Skull is cool!” slogan, Roke repeats this label in their creations endlessly.” ( Artist concept statement)

Elisa Battiston/ Barcelona

“The Secle’s idea
Take a bit of street art and mix with childhood illustration.
Put some pieces of paper ,lots of smiles, fantasy and freshness. Shake it all and server in a plan surface.
P.S. Let it move on to maintain its essence.
Specializing in clouds and spinning tops.” ( Artist concept statement)

Ramón Conde-Corbal Varela/ Querense

“Realistic spray artowrk. Popular portraits.” ( Artist concept statement)

Rafael Paulino/ Valencia

No artist statement currently available.

Michaela Xydi/ Barcelona

“My photo’s style is conceptual. You’ll have the opportunity to have a look at my web which is mainly a personal photography page, much rather preferred then using uploads on friendly social networks.
This is underlined by the fact I’ve included portraits of friends, who probably to my eyes would appear more beautiful because it was shared through that proper moment.
It is not a commercial vehicle, but a more personal way to understand my points of view and myself on a much deeper level.” ( Artist concept statement)

Pavle Cvijovic/ Belgrade

“Destroyer, creator, anarchistic expressive and realistic… I’m presenting the realism of life, brutality of reality and beauty in our self. I`m interested in all kind of urban art, so I’m doing murals, letters, posters and stencils, depend in what kind of mood I am… but everything of it, is me, my roots and imagination … I think that i put in my style half Byzantine and half Mexican culture…spiritual as Orthodox and huge like Mexican socialism art…
I hope you will like it…”

Muzai/ Brazil

“My art is based on characters with elements of fantasy and children. I work with digital illustration and graffiti’s.” ( Artist concept statement)

Gustavo Cipriano/ Dublin

“Express the emptiness, truth, love and sublime using elements of Brazilian culture as Forró music typical of the northeast. I believe in detachment of consumption, and the demythologizing of images like the skull that is the foundation of human life. That way I create my paintings tint using water based (blue, red, black and white) and small shadow detail spray (the ozone layer thanks).
Barcelona has no comments because breathes art is inside or outside the European economic crisis.
Knowing and painting in Barcelona??
my dream!” ( Artist concept statement)

Laura Garcia/ Barcelona

“I am very good with acrylics, pencil and pen. Drawing is something I have done as long as I can remember, it was only 7 years ago, when I started painting seriously. I love nature and animals, and most of my inspiration comes from there., from small details, patterns, colours or repetitions. I have been working on geometric shapes and tessellations lately. I have discovered that everything in nature has a mathematical perfection hidden in plain sight. It is those wonders, small hints and acknowledgements that I try to interpret and understand.” ( Artist concept statement)

Andrea Norden/ Stockholm

“I like to capture things in everyday life that may seem ordinary and normal, but if you look closer it’s art. It may be an expression on a face, a glance of an eye or an old coca cola can on the street.
I’m amazed by the world we live in and the people who live in it and I always try to explore more than what we see at first.
I most often do minimalistic and very realistic sketches. Street art is one of my biggest interests so I have also done a lot of collage paintings using spray cans, and also painted on large walls. Painting on walls is now my biggest mission, especially when it evolves around creating something where you explore a city and its people. That’s why I think this contest sounds great and I would love to participate!” ( Artist concept statement)

Sonia Ferre´/ Barcelona

“En els meus projectes sempre prenen la part més important les formes organiques d’una manera molt explosiva i elèctrica, convinant el que podem entendre per natura i per artifici, creant espais imaginaris de noves maneres d’entendre el que ens envolta. El resultat és un estil abstracte on hi predomina el color llempant, normalment utilitzant acrílic, tot i que moltes vegades intento convinar dibuix, fotografia i dibuix assistit per l’ordinador per acabar de completar aquest univers visual.” ( Artist concept statement)

Raul Villalba/Buenos Aires

“Arte fantastico” ( Artist concept statement)

Neus Lozano/ Barcelona

“I work in illustration, sweet style, colourful, sometimes intuitive …” ( Artist concept statement)

David Marteos Cabeas/ El Prat del Llobregat

“El meu projecte es pintura mural. Utilitzant spray sobre paret.
El meu estil es basa en combinacions de colors i combinacions de formes.
Vaig començar fa tres anys realitzant pintures al carrer a partir de la improvisació, i imaginant animals o coses de la naturalesa, i va anar evolucionant.
El meu estil i la meva expressió, m’agrada pensar que te aquesta connexió amb Barcelona per tota la influencia que te aquesta ciutat amb l’art del color,, amb l’art de la forma,, amb els estils surrealistes i innovadors que vam tenir far molts anys, i que encara aquí s’estan continuant durant dècades. Parlo de Gaudi, de les obres del grup dau al set, i també d’altres mes contemporanis com serien pintors ja esmentats per al concurs. (kenor, pez)

De cara a la pintura a realitzar, m’agradaria pintar alguna cosa relacionada amb el mar, així com dibuixar l’aigua amb moltes formes i poder-hi incloure algun rostre que humanitzes aquesta aigua.
M’agrada Barcelona, pels seus carrers, perque encara queden zones de l’antic graffiti, m’agrada encara que estigui plena de turistes, ja que donen a la ciutat l’aire cosmopolita i tant divers que té, i m’agrada el clima mediterrani, m’agrada el mar, i m’agrada l’arquitectura de Barcelona.” ( Artist concept statement)

Anita Zaira Haas/ Amsterdam

“My artist name is Zaira. I’m a street artist from Switzerland i make since 6 years active art on the street
now I work since two years on the streets and gallery’s in Amsterdam
my works are done free hand with spray can and with stencils
I like to make colourful walls animals or faces, cityscape………….big walls
I like to make a lot different stuff. ” ( Artist concept statement)

Calum Houldsworth / Caterham

“I like to use colour and drawings with the use of Photoshop to make a very interesting and visually appalling piece of work. I would start and see what makes Barcelona, Barcelona. I would draw the aspects of Barcelona and make a scene which captures the life and essence of the place, My sample work is the result of visually recording the area Brick Lane, in London, If I were given the chance I would develop and improve this style.” ( Artist concept statement)

Eduard Sacre/ Barcelona

“El meu nestil es basa en l’stencyl, mètode pel qual amb plantilles i sprays puc reproduïr la mateixa plantilla en varis llocs i en varis soports. M’inspiren els carrers, la gent, la música i l’art en general; m’inspira Barcelona, i és per això que vull parlar sobre i de Barcelona. El meu projecte consistirà en realitzar un mural donant les gràcies a la ciutat, demostrant perquè m’estimo Barcelona.” ( Artist concept statement)
