In 2012 I was one of the lucky artists chosen to be a part of the program Guestroom Maribor in Slovenia. Each artist received a scholarship to make a personal work inspired by the city and for its citizens. My work consisted of creating giant gaps of drawing in a cartoon style that occupied diferent places around the city. This giant metalic bilboards were created so i could draw in them with a black pen an exact continuation of what i saw behind each panel, this way when people approach it they need to find the exact spot where reality meets the drawing.
So it wouldnt be a doll image and people couldnt predict what they would find in each panel I decided to include this foregneirs, this aliens, that come to visit the town and give some colour to the pannels. Each monster is drawn by hand on paper and then worked on Photoshop CS5. Their textures come from photos that i took from diferente walls in Maribor. This way I tryed to make people take a new look at the places so familiar to them and introduce new friends that can make daily life a bit more unusual.
