Biography
Far from the idea to decorate the city, Escif considers his murals as pretexts for the exchange. The context is for him one of the essential ingredients. Imagery that emerges is primarily made to create dialogue with passersby. Native of Valencia in Spain, Escif is an artist internationally recognized. From modest to monumental scale his wall paintings are characterized by a style often close the satirical drawing. Rejecting the “stardom” of the figure of the artist, he plans primarily the practice of urban art as “a thinking exercise that can be shared with the public” and vowed to “bring to light some problems.”
