Career
Martí Sawe, born in Barcelona in 1986, has forged a prolific and persistent career in the world of graffiti since 2001. His name has become synonymous with this subculture, leaving his mark on numerous exhibitions and murals around the globe. After graduating from the Massana School of Illustration in 2006, he worked in that field until 2014, when he co-founded the audiovisual studio Manson, dedicating himself entirely to animation. However, in 2018, he decided to focus on his artistic career after a solo exhibition in New York. Primarily focused on painting, his works are a constant struggle between control and chaos. Virtuoso details coexist with scribbles, flat colors with accidental textures, figuration with distortion. This dichotomy results in confusing yet sincere images that reflect his context and professional trajectory. His proposal, rich in pictorial languages, color, rhythm and open messages, converges in a visual noise resulting from the globalization and information overload of our times.
