Hello to all friends of Hive, it is the first time that I publish in this Streetart community, the one who indicated it to me was my friend @carolinacardoza, in reality street art has always caught my attention, it seems to me a very pure form of expression of plastic artists. . I have always thought that it is a type of art that is not very widespread in Cuba, although last Thursday, April 28, I realized how wrong I was.

Hola a todos amigos de Hive, es la primera vez que publico en esta comunidad de Streetart, la que me lo indicó fue mi amiga @carolinacardoza, en realidad el arte callejero siempre me ha llamado la atención, me parece una forma de expresión muy pura de los artistas plásticos. Siempre he pensado que es un tipo de arte que no está muy difundido en Cuba, aunque el pasado jueves, 28 de abril, me di cuenta de lo equivocada que estaba.

On the way to a friend's house I took Paula street, now Leonor Pérez street and when I got to the intersection with Habana street, in the Habana Vieja municipality, Cuba, I had to stop, there were some beautiful graffiti on the walls, some not very big but very clever and expressive. I took my cell phone and began to photograph them. That boy painted on the facade of a house seems to mean something, very impressive.

De camino a casa de una amiga tomé la calle Paula, ahora calle Leonor Pérez y cuando llegué al cruce con la calle Habana, en el municipio Habana Vieja, Cuba, tuve que parar, había unos grafitis hermosos en las paredes, algunos no muy grandes pero muy ingeniosos y expresivos. Tomé mi celular y comencé a fotografiarlos. Ese niño pintado en la fachada de una casa parece que quiere decir algo, muy impresionante.

I began to inquire with the residents of the place and they told me that they had been there for two years, I never take those streets, I did not know what I was missing.

Empecé a indagar con los vecinos del lugar y me dijeron que llevaban dos años ahí, yo nunca tomo por esas calles, no sabía lo que estaba perdiendo.

They explained to me that it was a cultural project where several plastic artists had participated, in the neighborhood of San Isidro, the name became familiar to me,It really is a neighborhood whose houses have always been faded and that touch of graffiti has filled it with life. I took some more photos and left.

Me explicaron que era un proyecto cultural donde habían participado varios artistas plásticos, en el barrio de San Isidro, el nombre se me hizo familiar, realmente es un barrio que sus casas siempre han estado descoloridas y ese toque de graffiti lo ha llenado de vida. Tomé algunas fotos más y me fui.

Later at home I looked for information on the San Isidro neighborhood and there I discovered that due to the urban project of muralism, this area has become the Art District and its main graphic artists are Fabián López, only 22 years old, whose signature is 2 + 2 =5 and Luís Casa known as Mr Myl, graduated from the San Alejandro school and with more than 10 years of experience painting on the street.

Mas tarde en casa busqué información del barrio San Isidro y ahí descubrí que por el proyecto urbanístico del muralismo, esta zona se ha convertido en el Distrito del Arte y sus principales artistas gráficos son Fabián López, de tan solo 22 años, cuya firma es 2+ 2 =5 y Luís Casa conocido como Mr Myl, egresado del colegio San Alejandro y con más de 10 años de experiencia pintando en la calle.

This last one is on the outskirts of a gym, I really liked this graffiti very much, I think I will pass through this neighborhood much more often.

Este ultimo es en las afueras de un gimnacio, muy ocrrente este grafity me gustó mucho, creo que pasare mucho mas a menudo por este barrio.

Well friends, I leave you here this sample of Cuban street art and I hope to be able to share with you many more graffitis in the future. Tell me what you think. Good afternoon, see you!!

You are welcome 😁
Yes, the pandemic has a lot to answer for… enjoy going on some hunts to find more.
I love them too… StreetArt / murals. Occasionally I paint them myself 😉
