BROOKLYN STREET ART LOVES YOU MORE EVERY DAY
Community murals give opportunities to young and old to try their hand at self expression and go big on a wall. Here in this municipality in Catalonia, the duo called Pouvelle say, “We like to think of art as a way of expression that brings out the child we carry inside, letting ourselves be guided by the pleasure of applying shapes and colors and feeling its materiality.”

With professional skills that include art direction, graphic design, illustration, the two use a back and forth sharing of the creation, with each completing what the other has begun. “Our way to form the composition is similar to the assembling of a puzzle, in this way each one continues the forms that the other begins,” they say, “superimposing and introducing new ones until a balance is found.”
This one is for Project 12 + 1.
