I saw this street art while walking the streets of Barcelona at night, not far from the Picasso Museum in the “La Ribera” neighborhood. I’ve always been a fan of Spiderman and read the comics as a kid, but what grabbed my attention here is the depiction of his face. As you can see, the … Read more
I saw this graffiti in Madrid, accompanied by the message “Painting is Obsession.” As an artist, I agree with this sentiment!
