Urban art, muralism and graffiti reflect the dynamic pulse of a city, breaking the monotony and grayness of the cement and altering our vision of an urban environment.

The artists featured in the book were chosen for their unmistakable style, meteoric evolution, and innovative character and genius that uniquely define their work.

In addition to images of their creations from cities across the world, from Amsterdam to Montreal, Buenos Aires and Barcelona, to name just a few, the book includes texts that share the passions, dreams, challenges and difficulties of these artists who have transformed their cities into open-air museums. AUTHOR: Diego López Giménez has a degree in Documentation from the University of Valencia.
