Murals and graffiti in Salamanca: work for homes, businesses, residents' associations and public bodies

Your home doesn't have to look like anyone else's

A mural at home isn't a big painting. It takes up the whole wall, you see it every day, and it changes how the room feels. That's why I don't work from a catalogue: you tell me what you want, I look at the space, and I sketch something for that particular wall.

• Children's and teenagers' bedrooms

  Characters, landscapes, names, maps. Whatever the person sleeping there likes, not whatever's in fashion.

• Living rooms and hallways

  A single painted wall changes the whole living room. Abstract work or trompe-l'œil usually lands better than something literal.

• Terraces, courtyards and gardens

  Exterior paint that stands up to sun and rain. Walls, fences, sheds and floors.

• Garages and façades

  Garage doors, entrance walls and whole façades. This is where the change shows most.

Your shopfront is your first advert

A shop with a painted shutter is recognisable from across the street and gets photographed on its own. It isn't decoration: it's the first thing someone walking past sees before they know you.

• Shutters and roller doors

  What people see when you're closed, which is far more hours than you think. A painted shutter also gets tagged far less.

• Shop interiors

  Dining-room walls, booths, waiting areas, photo walls. Spots built for customers to take the picture.

• Offices and workspaces

  Reception, meeting rooms, the kitchen area. Brand presence without sticking the logo up forty times.

• Bars, gyms and hospitality

  The sectors where a mural pays off most: a room with its own character and something to post every week.

The garage is part of your home too

Garages, entrances and inner courtyards are the places everyone walks through and nobody looks at. They're usually the most neglected part of a building and the cheapest to fix: no building work, just paint.

• Garages

  Walls, pillars and bay numbering. It makes the space feel brighter and takes away the basement feel.

• Entrances and lobbies

  The building's first impression, for residents and for anyone coming to view a flat.

• Inner courtyards

  Those blank walls half the block's windows look onto. One of the places it's most appreciated.

• Exterior walls and party walls

  Side façades or boundary walls, painted to stand up to the weather.

Street art with the neighbourhood, not just for it

I work with town councils, schools and cultural centres on projects you can see from the street and that people feel are theirs. Often what matters isn't only the finished mural, but who was standing there while it was painted.

• Schools and secondary schools

  Playgrounds, gyms, dining halls and façades. It can be combined with a workshop so the pupils paint too.

• Cultural and youth centres

  Halls, stages and outdoor areas. Also live painting during an event or a fair.

• Urban improvement

  Party walls, park walls, underpasses and electrical substations. The ugliest bits of the street are the ones that come out best.

• Street furniture

  Bins, utility cabinets, benches and railings. Small interventions that go a long way on social media.
