Love to Graffiti: Children

I love creative artistic graffiti decorating lost walls in buildings. It is a great urban expression and they turn meaningless walls or corridors into thinking reasons and vibrant experiences.

Graffiti tell history, and create a parallel one. They are acid, but also tender mechanized life. They refuse standards but turn into mural memoires.
In Berlin, a place full of immigrants, their children, and their past, I found this great graffiti scenario: uncertainty and hope by children’s portraits.
Graffitis… I like them. I just do, much better than some prize winner work, and I don’t have to pay to get the excitement of them everyday.

El metro-cavernícola es un personaje autóctono de estos lados, así como lo es Pedro Picapiedra.
