After becoming one of the most prominent graffiti artists in Spain in the 1980s, SpY began exploring different forms of communication, giving shape to a distinctive and recognizable style. His work involves a playful appropriation of urban elements to awaken in spectators “an enlightened conscience,” in the artist’s own words.

Light is a constant element in his work: in Lighthouse a green beam connected two ends of Madrid, and in Barrier five high-powered red lasers created a conceptual line crossing the coast of Ostend. His singular aesthetic world is built upon a careful attention to context, composing a unique and stunning oeuvre.
