Dourone’s “Earth Migration” Mural for Roscella Bay Festival

Spanish street artist Fabio Lopez, aka Dourone, was born and raised in Madrid's countryside where he taught himself how to paint from an early age. His combined style of graphical illustration and surrealism developed from studying artists like MC Escher, Mohlitz Philippe, Jean Giraud "Moebius", and Giovanni Battista Piranesi. Dourone defines his unique style as "Sentipensante", named after a style invented by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano. His latest mural was painted for the first Roscella Bay Festival which was held in La Rochelle, France last month.

Dourone defines his unique style as “Sentipensante”, named after a style invented by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano. His latest mural was painted for the first Roscella Bay Festival which was held in La Rochelle, France last month. The wall was completed over the course of three days and portrays a beautiful migrant girl with a map of the world superimposed onto her face, and doves flying around her. Titled “Earth Migration”, the piece refers to the history of La Rochelle, which was one of the main ports for migrants traveling to French North America in the 17th century. Take a look at more photos of Dourone’s “Earth Migration” below, courtesy of the artist.

Born in Hong Kong, raised in Vancouver, educated in Denmark, and currently residing in Berlin – Andrea Wan is an artist with a diverse and culturally rich background to draw upon. Inspired by her relationships with the various people and places she has encountered throughout her journeys, Wan’s illustrations and ink paintings seek to communicate narratives that seem influenced by folktales and children’s stories. Indeed, the surrealistic and whimsical scenes that Wan creates could be illustrations straight out of a trippy children’s book, à la Dr. Seuss, Lewis Carroll or Shel Siverstein.
