Street Art, Who is...?

Meet Pez!

Gallery | Posted on by Aneta StreetArtRat

Pez, which means “fish” in Spanish, started painting in 1999 on the outskirts of Barcelona. At first he used to write his signature, and soon it evolved into a fish.
On his website he shares that he has been searching for a universal language to comunicate with walkers – and he found the smile. One day he decided to paint a fish character with a great smile near his tag and that is how El Pez was born! The huge smile is a way to pass on good vibrations to walkers on the streets.

    I like his charming character. The smile is a universal symbol that all of us can recognize. His bright colours are a added benefit as well.
