Graffiti builds artistic expressions, but it is also war.
-
War against other writers or war against the system and our nonconformity?
-
War against routine, war against square minds, war against ignorance and lack of culture!
This past weekend I have found one of my Graffiti made in the year 2022 which was covered by an ugly face, besides an insult and a lack of respect I see this as a desperate act to get attention.
However, when it comes to Graffiti, I am the one who has been doing it for more than a decade here in my town and I find it very disrespectful that new writers take the audacity to cover up and damage one of my writings.

But as I said at the beginning, Graffiti is war;
Putting this clear, we can not allow that in the middle of so much chaos and evil that exists in Venezuela we do this kind of things, the cost of the paints is quite high and it is not easy to stop eating a chicken for lunch to buy a spray paint so the next time you see a graffiti think about the sacrifice behind it.
If you are wondering about the materials used they were lime based paint together with oil based paint that I have collected at work in small portions and from there I got the black color which in reality is a green color linked with black, the so called lime paint is a coating that they call slaked lime and we can buy it by kg, water and salt is mixed to it to accelerate its process and so it adheres more easily to rustic surfaces.

Remember, war with me is like this;

El Graffiti construye expresiones artísticas, pero también es guerra.
-
Guerra contra otros escritores o guerra contra el sistema y nuestra inconformidad?
-
Guerra contra la rutina, guerra contra las mentes cuadradas, guerra contra la ignorancia y falta de cultura.
Éste pasado fin de semana me he encontrado con uno de mis Graffitis echo en el año 2022 el cuál fue cubierto por una cara fea, además de un insulto y una falta de respeto veo ésto como un acto desesperado por llamar la atención.
Sin embargo cuando de Graffiti se trata, soy quién lleva mas de una década representando el mismo acá en mi pueblo y me parece una gran falta de respeto que escritores nuevos se tomen este atrevimiento de tapar y dañar uno de mis escritos.

Pero como dije al principio, Graffiti es guerra.
Si se preguntan por los materiales usados fueron pintura a base de cal junto a pintura a base de aceite que he recolectado en el trabajo en pequeñas porciones y de allí saqué el color negro el cuál en realidad es un verde ligado con negro, la llamada pintura de cal es un revestimiento que llaman cal apagada y la podemos comprar por kg, a ésto se le mezcla agua y sal para acelerar su proceso y así se adhiere con más facilidad a superficies rústicas.
