Street Art/ Pintura Mural_ by Vira-lata

Vira-lata, adj (animal) without defined breed.Vira: to change direction: v1. to place in direction or previous opposite position. 2. (to make) to take direction to. 3. to place head upside down. 4. to go to (a road that returns or turns). 5. to place the inside outside. 6. to move around oneself center. 7. to effort to overcome trouble or reach goals. 8. to suffer disturbance, to change. 9. to transform. Vira-lata was born during our stay in Vila Matos, Salvador de Bahia, BR (2004).It is an open project, where whole format fits and doesn’t exist a unique or lineal process, but a concept and ways of work with a common base. Pretends to show things that “change direction”, that have different views, by investigation of different artistic areas such illustration, design, animation...Vira-lata is a body in continuous transfor-mation that moves depending on our interests, situations, possibilities or needs.Talking about a “Vira-lata”, we refer to an attitude, we try to learn from.

Vira-lata nace durante nuestra estancia en Vila Matos, un barrio de Salvador de Bahía, Brasil, (2004)

Es, esencialmente, un proyecto de vida dentro del cual se generan diversos proyectos artísticos en los que no

existe un proceso único o lineal aunque si una base común en cuanto a concepto y formas de trabajo.

Investigando en diferentes áreas artísticas, Vira-lata va mudando según sus inquietudes, situaciones,

posibilidades o necesidades. Su finalidad ética es conocernos mejor a través del mundo que nos rodea.

Cuando hablamos de un Vira-lata, nos referimos a una actitud, de la cual intentamos aprender.

Sometimes we stumble on something which shamelessly looks us with enquiring eyes, hungry mouths from ripped placards, bodies from holes or evil shades.
