Spanish muralist and multimedia artist Elbi Elem transformed an education center into a work of art for Més Que Murs Festival in Port of Sagunto, Valencia, Spain.
About The Mural
The mural, entitled ‘Sense’ is clearly representative of Elbi Elem’s art as it represents a dynamic and complex structure made of curves and straight lines using different colors. The 3D composition reflects the artist’s obsession with motion and balance.
The colors of the adjacent buildings were taken into account to create an anamorphic perspective. When observing the mural from a certain point, it completely seems to blend in the other building. She also wanted to integrate the mural to its environment, using geometric figures matching the urban furniture. Abstraction is once again involved in a game of perspectives.
About The Artist
Elbi Elem, until recently known as ‘Labuenaylamala’, lives and works in Barcelona. She started making kinetic sculpture in 2002. She is specialized in what we can call ‘abstract nature’ with a clear interest in the creation, the movement and the volume of forms in space. She works with a large variety of materials and uses architecture and urban landscapes as a great source of inspiration. Elbi Elem uses 3D installations to make visual effects and create a new work out of their own projections.
