FIL 2018

In 2018, the talented graffiti artist FIL, hailing from Lleida, graced the streets of Riba-roja with a mesmerizing work of art. Transforming the urban landscape into a canvas of expression, FIL’s mural stands as a testament to his creative vision and artistic prowess.

At the heart of the mural lies a poignant narrative, skillfully conveyed through symbolic imagery. The green box at the base serves as a metaphorical stage, symbolizing the dynamic interplay between humanity and nature. Above it, the two Rs intricately intertwined represent the essence of Riba-roja, while the brick wall stretching upwards signifies the ‘hand of man’ colliding with the pristine beauty of the river.

Through his artistry, FIL offers a profound commentary on the daily coexistence of Riba-roja, the river Ebro, and its diverse fauna.

Within the intricate details of the mural, the artist has hidden names of local wildlife, inviting viewers to embark on a journey of discovery and connection with the natural world.

As spectators engage with FIL’s mural, they are invited to contemplate the delicate balance between urban development and environmental conservation, prompting a deeper appreciation for the intricate web of life that surrounds us.

I started in the world of graffiti in 1990 in the city of Lleida. In 1998, I created my own style of 3D tubular letters, as we now know in the world of graffiti. In 2005 I started to customise clothes and caps. I have also been creating parallel styles and realism in physiognomies. For many years now, I have produced graffiti, which has led me to make “Street Art” in residencies and for commission.
