Map of street art in Santander (Spain)

The capital of Cantabria is the home city of Pejac, one of the most recognised Spanish artists of his generation, and a piece titled Caresse is recorded here.

His work stands out for its economy: where Spanish muralism favours large saturated surfaces, Pejac intervenes in a few strokes, often in black, playing with an existing element of the wall. A crack becomes a branch, a pipe a rope, a window the frame of a scene. The work is not seen from a distance, it is discovered.

That minimalist approach brings his practice close to artists such as Ememem or the street-plate mosaicists: modest interventions that assume the passer-by is looking, rather than murals designed to be seen from a car. Spain, whose scene is among the densest in Europe, lets both scales coexist.
