The project is part of the City Council of La Vall d&#8217;Alcal\u00e0&#8217;s commitment to <strong data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"925\">urban art<\/strong> and to integrate <strong data-start=\"944\" data-end=\"971\">contemporary muralism<\/strong> in public spaces, to strengthen the identity of the territory and connect the community with its roots. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1487\">I used my usual technique: a combination of plastic paint (brushes and rollers) together with aerosol for the final details, which allows me to achieve a modern figurative style, with textures and nuances typical of <strong data-start=\"1340\" data-end=\"1370\">large format mural art<\/strong>. With this I sought to give life to gray walls, transforming them into works full of meaning, history and emotion. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1489\" data-end=\"1861\">These murals are not just images: they are an invitation to remember the history of the Marina Alta, to value its heritage and to relive the legend of Al-Azraq, adapted to the present time through public art. It is a <strong data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1750\">mural with historical significance<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1753\" data-end=\"1774\">local urban art<\/strong>, designed for neighbors and visitors to rediscover what defines La Vall d&#8217;Alcal\u00e0. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1863\" data-end=\"2102\">This project reinforces my line of work: to create murals that unite <strong data-start=\"1930\" data-end=\"1977\">history, nature and Mediterranean landscape<\/strong>, integrating tradition and contemporaneity, and giving value to villages and corners of the territory with accessible and evocative art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3222,"template":"","class_list":["post-3235","proyectos","type-proyectos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tardorgraffiti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos\/3235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tardorgraffiti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/proyectos"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tardorgraffiti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/proyectos"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tardorgraffiti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tardorgraffiti.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
