      Walls and Columns with Hummingbirds by Decertor in Lima, Peru

      by

      Daniel Cortez aka Decertor is from Lima, Peru. He is a painter interested in building weatherproof memories in public spaces. He began his career with no formal studies in art, and his first inspiration came from portraits of the common man and woman that make up the human scenery of the Peruvian cities.His style started with the exercise of realism but then developed to emphasize the interconnectivity between the individual and the community in the social psyche. As an active street painter, he was part of the Hip Hop movement in Lima, always involving his work on social issues. This contributed to finding their way on muralism, risking new formats, and reinterpreting pre-Hispanic iconography in his style.Decertor about his works: “Several months ago I started spontaneously painting tiny hummingbirds in different places. Making them is just as satisfying as discovering them hidden in unexpected walls, columns and corners.”Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates. More

      Mural “Hermit Crab” by Nuno Viegas in Margate, United Kingdom

      by

      Nuno Viegas aka Metis, is a Portuguese artist born in Faro (1985) and raised in Quarteira.He presents us a contrast between the visually aggressive and sometimes dirty reality of traditional graffiti and its peaceful and clean representation in his works. The approach to this theme is a continuous tribute to all those who dedicate part of their lives to this scene.Developing paintings strongly influenced by and paying tribute to the graffiti scene, Viegas has seen his work across walls and art venues the world over.Nuno about the project:  “This year I was invited to join the Rise Up Residency in Margate. This came with a great challenge to follow up with a theme and paint a piece that would speak up for the local community about the issues that have been brought up and fought by the Rise Up and Clean Up people.                                             It took me a while to find a nice concept that would still be about my usual language and iconography but also have a different speech towards the event’s theme.”Inspired by Brock Davis and an image of an hermit crab he found while researching for this concept.Take a look at more images below and check back with us soon for more updates.
