Greetings, friends of Hive, Once again I accompany you in this contest, and as always I feel encouraged and above all convinced that the work for this platform is not in vain and that contributing is always the right thing to do, so today I present to you a Colombian artist who had the opportunity to bring his art into a space of great transit, as is the San Antonio subway station in Medellin. Flores en Clave de Inclusión' is an artistic proposal that seeks to pay homage to the cultural and ethnic diversity that Medellin has, and without a doubt he succeeded. Numak is a graffiti artist with magical and sincere hands.
“Numak” is his artistic name, and I must be honest, I got this mural by pure coincidence. I don't usually use the subway, but when I did, there it was, in front of me, graffiti telling me, “Come, take a lot of pictures and show them to me." Lately, when I see graffiti, I have to approach them, and so little by little a hobby can be a future job. I don't know; for now I was just running an errand. I stopped to appreciate its magnitude, take the pictures, and investigate a little of this artist, because, you know, the signatures of these graffiti artists are something like the signatures of doctors, something difficult to decipher.
This artist, who has more than 15 years of experience painting on surfaces, represents legacies and ethnicity without leaving aside the natural component. His works are full of identity; he does not skimp on material to fill his works with color; no doubt he has a lot of fantasy, but he does not stop representing the human being of his own land, among flowers and colors. I believe he is an innate humanist and elevates his art. His magnitude defines him as an artist with a trajectory and who wants to keep his message of the importance of identity, nature and human beings. What a great thing. I hope to continue to get works like this and show them to you because it fills me a lot to work like this.
Thank you for reading my little work, for supporting me, and above all for doing work related to urban art; there is great potential, and being on this path is something interesting and magical, thank you! Good luck!
