About the artist

Tirso Paz, known as Bublegum, grew up drawing and listening to hip-hop in Lugo, Spain. At the age of 16, he began painting on walls, a passion that has stayed with him to this day. His artistic development has been self-taught, also inspired by other disciplines such as tattooing and sculpture. Over time, he has evolved into a multidisciplinary artist with murals around the world and works showcased in international galleries. Bublegum's striking artistic style blends realism with dynamic graffiti elements, adding movement and energy to his work. His primary sources of inspiration are female portraits and elements of nature, which he transforms into visually captivating compositions with meticulous attention to detail, where light plays a crucial role. In 2020, driven by the desire to take his art further, Bublegum introduced what he now calls the "Ornamental Style," a unique fusion of animals and intricate filigree. Fascinated by ornamental designs often found in architectural facades, he began translating his vision into various mediums. This approach unlocks endless creative possibilities, bringing to life elaborate visual narratives in both small and large formats. Bublegum aims to create a natural connection between his works and their surroundings, crafting highly detailed murals and beautifying urban areas. Today, he balances his time between creating large-scale murals, transforming his vision into canvases, and producing digital illustrations. Constantly challenging the limits of his creativity, he remains a fresh and influential presence in the urban art scene, always thinking about his next piece and how to surpass the previous one.
