Miguel AĢngel BelinchoĢn Bujes, also known as Belin, is a self-taught visual artist who is considered one of the most relevant urban painters in Europe. He is globally known for his mastery of spray paint on colossal murals without using stencils, projectors, or grids, and he is the creator of Postneocubism. His works are present in major cities around the world.
āBy immersing myself in the essence of classicism and redefining its limits, I aim to challenge aesthetic conventions. The original painting by El Greco is a masterful representation of a knight in armor. Iām using my Postneocubist style to transform it into a contemporary man. By blending geometric contours with expressionist strokes, Iām hoping to create a unique visual synthesis that celebrates the complexity of human identity, while simultaneously inviting the viewer to reflect on the timelessness of art and its evolution.ā / Belin
