ES

Las capas de carteles publicitarios se acumulan en las paredes de la ciudad de Barcelona, cambiando completamente la manera con la que apreciamos el entorno urbano en nuestra cotidianidad, formando una parte intrínseca de las calles que cruzamos en nuestro día a día. El hecho de que se sobrepongan unas encima de las otras supone la permanencia a pesar de la climatología y del paso del tiempo. El artista selecciona algunas cartelas al azar e introduce en el centro un ojo realizado con spray y stencil que simbolizaría esa devolución de la mirada al transeúte, dotando vida a los objetos urbanos. Estos ojos nunca son aleatorios, simbolizan alguna mirada que le cautivó por la transparencia de su profundidad anímica ya que para el artista, esta es el primer sello identitario de cada persona.

The layers of advertising posters accumulate on the walls of the city of Barcelona, completely changing the way we perceive the urban environment in our daily lives, becoming an intrinsic part of the streets we cross every day. The fact that they overlap one on top of the other suggests permanence despite the weather and the passage of time. The artist selects some posters at random and introduces an eye, created with spray paint and stencil, at their center. This eye symbolizes the return of the gaze to the passerby, bringing life to urban objects. These eyes are never random; they represent a gaze that captivated the artist for its transparency and emotional depth, as, for the artist, the gaze is the first unique identifier of each individual.
