Ampparito is a young Spanish street artist who recently flew to New Zealand to participate in Street Prints, a festival for which, following the themes given by the organizers, gave rise to two different murals.

For the first theme,”it’s the people, it’s the people, it’s the people“, he wanted to represent 3 plastic glasses, one for every glass of water he drank during his long journey from Spain to New Zealand, filled to 65%, the exact percentage of water inside our body.

For the second theme,”care for the people“, he went to Christchurch, the New Zealand city that in 2011 was hit by an earthquake that destroyed a large part of it, leaving open wounds in the entire population.
His idea, inspired by the large spaces that remained empty and destroyed, was to create a huge pillow that rests on a wall that one piece lacks.
The wrinkles symbolize the suffering experienced and the obligation to bend to something much stronger than everything we can control.

His style uses simple objects that help him explore the boundaries between realism and abstraction by changing points of view, distances and dimensions.
