“The intention of this mural on an artistic level, without mentioning for the moment, the meaning and why of the elements, was under the influence and impression that Gaudi’s work has on me. Last year I visited Barcelona again and returned as I always do when I am there, to Casa Batlló. And beyond the beautiful work of art that is the entire house, something that impresses me is the power it has to make people travel just to see it even from the outside. The number of people who stand outside to appreciate the work is such that they fill the street and it is difficult to take a photo. And so practically all year long. Many do not even enter but having stopped there complements them. Achieving what Gaudi achieves is my goal in urban art. Make work that makes people stop. Feed the mind and spirit of a person with the forms that I made. What I’m looking for is very ambitious but it is my wish.”
