ESCIF is an ‘artivist’, a painter and a muralist.
His work focuses mainly on the re-signification of the city, based on the statement that life will always be more interesting than art. With a sharp drawing of clear lines and sober colors, his murals question the current struggles, the resistance movements, the challenges of capitalism and the environmental problems that cloud our time. Sometimes his paintings are presented as minimal gestures that break into reality, to remind us of the beauty of everything that surrounds us.
Active in the street-art scene since the late 90s, much of his work has been developed in Valencia, his hometown.
Even so, he has carried out a large number of international projects in urban contexts around the world, always in direct contact with the public and the reality of the context.
In recent years we can highlight his interventions in art centers such as Power Station museum in Shanghai (China, 2016), IVAM museum (Valencia, 2017), Palais de Tokyo museum (Paris, 2018), CCCC museum (Valencia, 2020); his participation in events such as the Biennial of Contemporary African Art (Dakar, 2014), OFF Manifesta X (Saint Petersburg 2014),
in “Dismaland” project organized by Banksy in Weston-super-Mare (England, 2015), the Lyon Biennial (France, 2019) and Beyond the Streets in collaboration with Saatchi Gallery (London, 2023) and Perrotin Gallery (Shanghai, 2023).
