Going out looking for art in the streets is a hobby full of satisfaction that brings joy, in part, by the happiness hormones that we secrete during the process. The physical activity of walking down the street receiving the sun's rays causes us to emit dopamine and serotonin, and finding a new and stimulating piece of street art injects a pleasant dose of endorphins. Besides, the welcoming and creative community of urban artists and amateurs invites us to increase our sociability, which, as science has shown, extends life expectancy. Actually, no matter where you look at it, everything is advantages. Whether you are an artist or a hobbyist, You will always be welcome at the street art museum and you will be able to feel the freedom to create without limits in front of a majority audience.. Valencia is a perfect city for housewarmingstrays who cultivate this hobby for street art and muralism because they find new street interventions every day and can approach the search from different perspectives, For example, that of street art created by women.
We are going to talk to you about some artists whose works we can admire in the historic center of the city for many years in murals that last because they are highly respected.. One of our most internationally recognized urban artists is Julieta Xlf, whose work can be visited until 20 January at the exhibition Chromaticism of pain of the Gallery Four (The Boat, 25), where her recognizable style shines, full of colors and animals, in which a mischievous girl with oriental features sneaks in.. Walking through Valencia you can come across several of its murals, some of the best preserved are located on Corona streets, Villena and Moro Zeid. Another historic urban artist on our streets is Barbie, with a recognizable and very colorful style in which the pink bunny icon is almost never missing. She herself says that her “bunnies have stories to tell.”. happy stories, acidic, fun and a little demanding”. You will find his work in the Sabotage gallery (Very pure, 5) and in downtown streets such as Villena and Recaredo. Also very popular is Wapa Wapa Babe with its legendary murals on the blinds of Café Negrito (Pl. of the Negrito, 1) that give the place a festive and cultural atmosphere. If you ask him about any of his murals, will answer that they are open to each person's interpretation, that everyone is free to feel it in their own way. Recurring themes in his art are female figures and visceral, intensely red hearts.. In the Cocin4s gallery (kitchens, 4) You can buy their works made in the studio and other personalized objects to take home as souvenirs..
Another artist to remember is Beatriz Roclim. Although he does not lavish much on murals, He leans more towards other artistic facets such as photography, has work on the busy and touristy Quart street (near the Quart Towers), respected for years. She herself passes by from time to time to keep it in good condition and keep alive the message she sends to the passerby.: “Look well into the eyes of those who look at you with their heart”. Other types of street art that you can find in Valencia are the paste up, a technique that consists of gluing compositions on paper with glue (photographs, texts, drawings) on urban surfaces, oh go stickers, the typical stickers made of adhesive paper with images or text. We have two artists who are very active in this technique: Empastreup with its constant tributes to cinema, painting and literature, y The Keys to Wonderland, three sisters who are inspired by the wonderful world of Alice in Wonderland.
