September 2011: Marmota in Valenica

Is it Wednesday already? I feel like the week just started! Anyway, can’t complain. We’re one day closer to the weekend. Today, we’ve got Marmota stopping by to check in with his latest works. He writes:

“My latest pieces just come from me asking questions and painting the images.”

“For me, Valencia is the city that is my favorite. The people know their walls, and it is a place where there is still some freedom to paint.”

“Seeing so many humble people doing good things without getting famous reminds me that the street stands apart from fashion, gallery owners and collectors. For me, the street is a place of free expression where everyone has a place.”


“The number of people getting arrested for street art has not increased a lot here. Painting on the street is illegal, but things are not so hard as in Barcelona, Paris or other big cities.”


“Working in my studio, I prepare the templates. Then I look for a wall that suits my needs and is visible to many people.”

Gracias, Marmota!
