“Power to the (old) people!
Inspired by her grandmother who was her muse, Capdevila’s art is all about celebrating female empowerment—a timeless vibe we should all keeping on grooving to. By showcasing elderly women in her murals, she’s not just giving them a platform, but the spotlight moment they deserve.”
