Walking in the back streets of Madrid’s art district, between small galleries and run-down buildings, I was stunned by the graffiti you see in the featured photo. It was painted on a sheet of plastic covering part of construction site. The beautiful skyline, minimally emphasized by the yellow lines, and the lettering were so assured, and at the same time so ephemeral! I was lucky that I walked by the few days of its lifetime.
I did not see more by this artist. In that sense none of the Spanish cities I visited seemed to have the prolific street artists of Porto. But what I saw captured me. Just as I captured some of what I saw. Here’s the gallery below, browse it and see if you like it as much as I did.

The reason I like street art is sometimes I think these are the only artists actually drawing anymore. Not that I don’t appreciate other art forms, but these people are the one who can quickly create an often wonderful work, often under difficult conditions. I love the one from Madrid with the dolphin!

Yes, that’s a very nice one. I specially loved the colours there. I agree about the vitality. A pity about how ephemeral the works are. On the other hand, they probably achieve what dada set out to do.
