I’ve been invited by Nrmal <\/a>and El Narval<\/a> to be the first artist to participate in Residencia Tampiquito<\/em>, an artistic residency in a popular neighbourhood in San Pedro (Monterrey, Nuevo Le\u00f3n, M\u00e9xico). I lived and painted for two months in Tampiquito and at the end we opened an exhibition in a gallery to show the result of the residency.<\/p>\n

I painted around 50 pieces on people’s houses, had a 10 years old best friend and assistant (because of the flu, the schools were closed so Javi my neighbors’ son was helping me to paint almost everyday!), had an incredible crew working with me sorting out photos, videos, press and BBQ’s and felt very sad when I had to go back home!<\/p>\n

If by chance you are in Monterrey, download the map of the paintings here<\/a>, print it and have a walk in the awesome Tampiquito neighbourhood!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One day while I was painting, an amazing cumbia was played from a huge pick-up parked next to me. I met the owner of the car, Ra\u00fal el Tambor\u00edn, and after offering me a couple of beers, he gave me the tape as a gift! Nrmal made a mixtape out of it so everybody can enjoy it: https:\/\/nrmal.net\/blog\/nrmal\/residencia-tampiquito-mixtape<\/a>!<\/p>\n

The project had an incredible press coverage, you can check it here:
