The post Inti Castro, the Chilean Graffiti Artist who Paints the World appeared first on MobiSpirit.
]]>The main source of inspiration for Inti is the world of urban art: He says he’s heavily influenced by graffiti. He is also interested in other forms of art and discovered Latin American muralism and the wall-painting of protest in Chile of the 70s.
The title of his book Color, Carnival, y Resistencia!, that was released last year, perfectly summarizes the state of mind of the Chilean street artist. For ten years, on huge walls, he illuminated the cities of his strange characters inherited from Latin American folklore, which break the gray and advocate tolerance and “love in battle”. Lately, he has abandoned the walls for canvas and sculpture, but his incredible murals still remain a cultural touchstone and continue to be celebrated for their unique and expressive style.
