INTI my Favorite Artist

Inside the world of urban art we are found muralists artist around the cities where paint walls for expressing them ideas, within these artists is Inti Castro. He was born in Valparaíso, Chile in the year 1982 and he began painting walls at around the age of thirteen. He usually paints murals on a gigantic scale, his works often take up whole sides of buildings. He has painted murals in several cities in Chile and  has participated in international festivals around the world and he was also one of the organizers of the Graffiti festival in Valparaiso. Today he is one of the most recognized street artists globally.

The last year I was investigating "actos urbanos" for a course at the university when I found his work and I felt that I should know his works in person so I visited the works that are outside the subway station Bellas Artes (they were deleted this year) and I went to Valparaíso where I searched his murals.

About this, one of the things I like about Inti are the colors and the way he paints  inspired by the Latin American syncretism of the mixture of the Spanish and indigenous heritage that leads to express simplicity, sadness, astonishmend and reflection that he make.
