<p>Since 1995</p>

<p><strong>Is there an underlying message to your art? Are you attempting to communicate something?</strong></p>
<p>I seek to rescue the childish side of man. In my universe, playful elements predominate, fanciful, lyrical and children placed in an atmosphere of serenity. Your search trace a less flowery, with a more direct language, but loaded with small subtleties. In my drawings, I seek the development of new textures, mixing drawing and digital manipulation.</p>

<p><strong>Hay algún mensaje en tu arte? Intentas comunicar algo?</strong></p>
<p>Bueno siempre se comunica algo, yo solo pretendo que mis ilustraciones no sean indiferentes que provoquen algún sentimiento, ternura, alegría, nostalgia…</p>

<p>Argentino, nacido en Buenos Aires. Autodidacta.</p>
<p>Empezó a incursionar en el mundo de la fotografía a la edad de 17 años, y de ahí en mas no se aparto jamás de ese camino que él decidió recorrer, volcando en el mismo todo su caudal creativo, que con el tiempo se transformo en uno de los fotógrafos creativos más reconocidos tanto nacional como internacionalmente. Paso por todas las ramas de la fotografía, ya sea trabajando como fotógrafo publicitario, retratista, ilustrador fotográfico creativo para portadas de libros, discos, cuentos, poesías, de numerosas e importantes editoriales de nuestro país.</p>
<p>Reflexion</p>
<p>Trato de mostrar a través de mis imágenes el mundo de los sueños, de la magia, de lo onírico, de lo místico y todos esos mundos de la fantasía que tengo dentro de mí, que nacen y renacen a cada instante, y así poder regalárselos a los espectadores de mis fotografías, que tal vez sean, el mundo interior de cada uno de ellos.</p>

<p>Sònia Ferré, 24, Aiguaviva (Tarragona), Arts &amp; design</p>
<p>I’m working as a model and waitress, but I hope to work as an artist in a near future.</p>
<p><strong>Complete this sentence:</strong> Life is COLOUR</p>
<p><strong>What inspired you most to pursue an artistic direction?</strong></p>
<p>I think that I born with that.</p>
<p><strong>What is your preferred subject and why?</strong></p>
<p>Theory of the perception of colour and form, because it is very useful for my way of working and to capture the attention of the viewer.</p>
<p>Yes, of course. Art is a means of expression. What I want is to help each viewer, giving him a moment&#8217;s pleasure, meditation, bring your imagination to the limit, and this will serve to other aspects of their lives.</p>
<p>Artistically, something you have never tried but always wanted to?</p>
<p>A short film, based in abstract art, experimenting with painting and music together and a very strong connection.</p>
<p><strong>How does Barcelona inspire you?</strong></p>
<p>Barcelona is home to all cultures, human warmth, and colour, colour of so the Mediterranean Sea and the mountains of Montjuïc or Collserola make our special, magical light. Great artists like Miró and Gaudí flow between the ideas of young artists in the city. Including food, wonderful Mediterranean diet! gives us the explosion of colour that makes us unique.</p>

<p>Feminine urban art</p>
<p><strong>What excites you about Generator as an exhibition space?</strong></p>

<h3>Calum Houldsworth</h3>
<p>I wanted to transcribe what a young tourist might see whilst spending their time in Barcelona. I wanted the piece to have a connection with tourists so that they perceive the piece in a different way when they go compared to how they saw and thought about it when arriving……. Barcelona is a very visual city with colours, a good art history, architecture and full of life.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>What/where did you study? What do you do for a living?</strong></p>
<p>He estudiat al carrer, vaig començar pintar al carrer i aixo he fet durant anys. Ara estic fent un cicle a l’escola Llotja. Estic parat, vull sortir a treballar a l’estranger, poder estudiar anglés, i continuar pintant.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>En Kenor va ser el meu heroi durant un temps, el veía a tots llocs per Barcelona, encara i tot no creec en herois. El meu heroi es aquell que aconsegueix fer allo que es proposa, i algún dia m’agradaria ser el meu heroi. Que el meu nen interior li preguntés al meu futur adult, como t’ho has fet per fer de la teva passio una forma de viure?</p>
<p><strong>Complete this sentence</strong>: Life is un moment que s’ens ve donat, estem aqui i hem de fer tot allo que volem, atenin’hos a les consecuencies, aixi com un momento per disfrutar i per poder fer de la nostra existencia algo inolvidable i positiu.</p>
<h3> </h3>
<h3>Studio Doeke</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m Doeke van Nuil, 25 and my artist name is Studio Doeke. I studied at the ArtEZ School of Art in Zwolle, the Netherlands and I did an Erasmus at the Escola Massana in Barcelona. I&#8217;m an illustrator, so I draw for a living.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>The Dinosaur in general. I would ask them: what happened?</p>
<p><strong>Complete this sentence</strong>: Life is.. I&#8217;m sorry: I&#8217;m really bad at those things. I almost hate all those motto&#8217;s/sentence stuff. I usually say: Everybody dies at the end! So enjoy your life!</p>
<p><strong>Who are your greatest artistic influences?</strong></p>
<p>I really like Merijn Hos a.k.a. Bfree, a dutch artist who makes really cool work. He keeps playing around (in a good way) and you can see he&#8217;s having fun while making things. I got to talk to him in my 3th year of school and his work and way of living where a true eye-opener for me.</p>
<p><strong>What motivated you to enter this competition?</strong></p>
<p>The fact that this competition combines the two things I love the most: Illustrating and Barcelona! Drawing for this competition made me remember all the good times I had in Barcelona. It made me feel really good</p>

<h3>Eduard Sacrest (aka RICE)</h3>

<p>My name is Eduard Sacrest. I come from a little city from Girona, called Olot. I’m actually living in Barcelona; I’m studying fine arts in University of Barcelona. I work hard in order to get my images across to many people, not only from Barcelona but also from abroad. This is my intention.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>Freddie Mercury. I just give him a big, big hug of gratitude for all he done in the past, and nowadays. He is my real hero.</p>
<p><strong>What inspired you most to pursue an artistic direction?</strong></p>
<p>The people, always the people, cause I believe that a change is possible, if we stay all together and fight from inside for our rights and our freedom.</p>
<p><strong>Is there an underlying message to your art? Are you attempting to communicate something?</strong></p>
<p>Yes. It depends on the work; actually I’m working in a series of stencils of street children. I want to portray the invisible, marginal part of society, to show it. I want to make it visible, because I feel invisible too sometimes.</p>
<p>I would like to fight for the freedom of people, for human rights, cause all we are beautiful, and I try to transmit it on my work.</p>
<p><strong>How does Barcelona inspire you?</strong></p>
<p>Is just question of looking around of you, when you are in the street, on the train, in the University. My senses are opened to capture anything.</p>

<p>Hi, my name is Elisa Battiston….and I was born in Udine, Italy. I have a bachelor in Educational Science from the Univesrite&#8217;degli Studi de Bologna in 2007. I worked in this area for few years and then I got a scholarship to go to Uruguay, where I had the opportunity to perform an artistic residence and cultural interchange.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>My hero is “myself from the future”! And I want to ask “myself from the future” if, in the future, I am happy and doing what I love, because if I am not I gotta change it now!</p>
<p><strong>Complete this sentence:</strong> Life is wonderful</p>
<p>My personnal and professional life are guided by my dreams and thoughts and by the idea of showing it to the world.</p>
<p><strong>Who are your greatest artistic influences?</strong></p>
<p>I don&#8217;t have one person that influences me, but I do like to follow the street-art movement and I’m also influenced by the childhood innocence.</p>
<p><strong>In your own words, how would you describe your style?</strong></p>
<p>I can define my style by saying this phrase: &#8220;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 serve in a plan surface.”</p>

Em todos os meus trabalhos uso as cores azul, significando o sublime e o elemento agua, e o vermelho, o amor e o elemento fogo. Desta forma, procuro equilibrar ambos no ciclo da vida.</p>

<p>Laura Garcia, 32, Mexico City. Graphic Design/ Illustration. Mexico/Barcelona. Freelance Interpreter.</p>
<p><strong>What’s the place in the world you would most like to visit before you die?</strong></p>
<p>The Alhambra.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>My hero would be MC Escher and I would ask him to come to the Alhambra with me. Life is just a ride.</p>
<p><strong>Who are your greatest artistic influences?</strong></p>
<p>The thing that has inspired me to pursue an artistic direction has been the support of everyone that likes my art.</p>
<p><strong>Is there an underlying message to your art? Are you attempting to communicate something?</strong></p>
<p>My artistic influences have changed throughout the years. I have a huge influence from Mexico, the colors and shapes that the native Huichol use in their art are amazing. I love Dr. Seuss´s illustrations, M.C. Escher, Gaudí, street art, sacred geometry&#8230; I love little details, little “easter eggs” left everywhere for me to find. I also love music, I hear it everyday all the time. Music has influenced me a lot too. I love old school reggae. ……</p>
<p>More than a containing a message, my pieces are for the enjoyment of the observer. I love to make eye candy.</p>
<p><strong>How does Barcelona inspire you?</strong></p>
<p>Barcelona is a very stimulating place for the mind, the eyes and the spirit. If you learn to observe as you walk through the city you can find amazing details everywhere. It has inspired me long before I came here. The little details found everywhere exercise my mind and my imagination.</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11057" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/04/Laura-Garcia-Blog-2.jpg" alt="Laura Garcia Blog 2" width="547" height="310" /></p>

<h3>Michaela Xydi</h3>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-11063" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/04/Michaela-Xydi-Blog1.jpg" alt="Michaela Xydi Blog1" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<p>Love in Barcelona matters, that’s why I love this city.</p>
<p>There are many ways to prove your love, in every sector all over the world. In Barcelona there is no reason to doubt it as you can see it everywhere, all the time. People look happy, open and spontaneous more than every other city I’ve visited or lived, and this is what makes me see so much beauty in Barcelona. Besides everything happens underneath such a beautiful great blue sky.</p>
<p><strong>Where you are from, what/where did you study? What do you do for a living?</strong></p>
<p>My name is Michaela Xydi, I am Greek and at the moment I am working as a graphic designer/ photographer at Metropolitan Magazine. I’ve studied both business and photography. I completed a bachelors degree in HRM in Manchester UK and my Masters studies in Creativity and Advertising in Barcelona, I also took many courses in photography on many categories in Barcelona for approximately 4 years.</p>
<p><strong>Your hero calls you one day and allows you to ask them one question – who is your hero and what would the question be?</strong></p>
<p>My hero is Friedrich Nietzsche and my question to him would be: &#8211; “Why do people think lies makes other people happier?</p>
<p>Complete this sentence: Life is rich regardless money.</p>
<p><strong>In your own words, how would you describe your style?</strong></p>
<p>Conceptual, Surrealistic.</p>
<p><strong>What is your preferred subject and why?</strong></p>
<p>Philosophy and psychology, there is always something more then what you see and touch and I want to know what that is. People use their minds quite well. Happiness and thought, is the balance in between mind and heart.</p>
<p><strong>Artistically, something you have never tried but always wanted to?</strong></p>
<p>Definitely one day I would love to write a book, saying what people have provide me through their behaviour I saw on the pictures I made.</p>
<p><strong>What excites you about Generator as an exhibition space?</strong></p>
<p>Generator Hostels are the Hostels with more artistic identity than many others I’ve seen or visited. When something with such a strong and personal style gives me the opportunity to be part of that, it becomes more than an opportunity rather an experience!</p>

<h3>Gustavo Cipriano/ Dublin</h3>
<p>&#8220;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).<br /> Barcelona has no comments because breathes art is inside or outside the European economic crisis.<br /> Knowing and painting in Barcelona??<br /> my dream!&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8715" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Gustavo-Cipriano.jpg" alt="Gustavo Cipriano" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Laura Garcia/ Barcelona</h3>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8717" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Laura-Garcia.png" alt="Laura Garcia" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Andrea Norden/ Stockholm</h3>
<p>&#8220;I like to capture things in everyday life that may seem ordinary and normal, but if you look closer it&#8217;s art. It may be an expression on a face, a glance of an eye or an old coca cola can on the street.<br /> I&#8217;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.<br /> 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&#8217;s why I think this contest sounds great and I would love to participate!&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8721" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Andrea-Norden.jpg" alt="Andrea Norden" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Sonia Ferre´/ Barcelona</h3>
<p>&#8220;En els meus projectes sempre prenen la part més important les formes organiques d&#8217;una manera molt explosiva i elèctrica, convinant el que podem entendre per natura i per artifici, creant espais imaginaris de noves maneres d&#8217;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&#8217;ordinador per acabar de completar aquest univers visual.&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>

<h3>Raul Villalba/Buenos Aires</h3>
<p>&#8220;Arte fantastico&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8725" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Raul-Villalba.jpg" alt="Raul Villalba" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Neus Lozano/ Barcelona</h3>
<p>&#8220;I work in illustration, sweet style, colourful, sometimes intuitive &#8230;&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8727" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Neus-Lozano-1.jpg" alt="Neus Lozano 1" width="547" height="310" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>David Marteos Cabeas/ El Prat del Llobregat</h3>
<p>&#8220;El meu projecte es pintura mural. Utilitzant spray sobre paret.<br /> El meu estil es basa en combinacions de colors i combinacions de formes.<br /> 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.<br /> El meu estil i la meva expressió, m&#8217;agrada pensar que te aquesta connexió amb Barcelona per tota la influencia que te aquesta ciutat amb l&#8217;art del color,, amb l&#8217;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&#8217;altres mes contemporanis com serien pintors ja esmentats per al concurs. (kenor, pez)</p>
<p>De cara a la pintura a realitzar, m&#8217;agradaria pintar alguna cosa relacionada amb el mar, així com dibuixar l&#8217;aigua amb moltes formes i poder-hi incloure algun rostre que humanitzes aquesta aigua.<br /> M&#8217;agrada Barcelona, pels seus carrers, perque encara queden zones de l&#8217;antic graffiti, m&#8217;agrada encara que estigui plena de turistes, ja que donen a la ciutat l&#8217;aire cosmopolita i tant divers que té, i m&#8217;agrada el clima mediterrani, m&#8217;agrada el mar, i m&#8217;agrada l&#8217;arquitectura de Barcelona.&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8737" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/David-Marteos-Cabeas.jpg" alt="David Marteos Cabeas" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Anita Zaira Haas/ Amsterdam</h3>
<p>&#8220;My artist name is Zaira. I’m a street artist from Switzerland i make since 6 years active art on the street<br /> now I work since two years on the streets and gallery’s in Amsterdam<br /> my works are done free hand with spray can and with stencils<br /> I like to make colourful walls animals or faces, cityscape&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.big walls <img src='http://generatorhostels.com/en/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> <br /> I like to make a lot different stuff. &#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8739" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Anita-Zaira-Hass.jpg" alt="Anita Zaira Hass" width="547" height="310" /></p>
<h3>Calum Houldsworth / Caterham</h3>
<p>&#8220;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.&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p> <img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8745" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Calum-Houldsworth-1.jpg" alt="Calum Houldsworth" width="547" height="310" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Eduard Sacre/ Barcelona</h3>
<p>&#8220;El meu nestil es basa en l&#8217;stencyl, mètode pel qual amb plantilles i sprays puc reproduïr la mateixa plantilla en varis llocs i en varis soports. M&#8217;inspiren els carrers, la gent, la música i l&#8217;art en general; m&#8217;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&#8217;estimo Barcelona.&#8221; ( Artist concept statement)</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-8743" src="http://generatorhostels.com/en/files/2013/03/Eduard-Sacre.jpg" alt="Eduard Sacre" width="547" height="310" /></p>

<p>Generator is offering up-and-coming artists the chance to have their masterpiece on permanent display in <a title="Generator Barcelona hostel" href="http://generatorhostels.com/en/destinations/barcelona/">Barcelona’s newest boutique hostel</a>.</p>
<h3>Pedro Cuevas, B-Toy, Pez… Could your name be next?!</h3>

<p><strong>STEP 3</strong></p>
<p>Two winners will then be chosen to each produce one unique masterpiece which will become a permanent fixture in Generator Barcelona’s two large public areas, with a potential audience of over 180,000 international visitors per year.
