Festival Los Alcázares

The fourth edition of the International Festival of Urban Art is currently taking place in Los Alcázares, transforming the city walls into a vast open-air gallery. More than fifty global artists collaborate to create dozens of frescos, thus enriching the permanent collection of the International Museum of the Mar Menor. This cultural event focusses on social inclusion and diversity, especially through artistic projects carried out by people with disabilities. The program also offers specialised conferences, live music sessions and guided tours to discover these new works. This initiative strengthens the aesthetic identity of the municipality while promoting conviviality and sharing around contemporary creation.

Otto Shade : The artist develops an immediately identifiable graphic style: intertwined and twisted ribbons which compose his subjects in a vocabulary nourished by the surrealism of Dalí, Magritte and Miró, as well as by the dark imagination of Giger and Beksiński. His frescoes, often carrying anti-war messages, combine his architectural training with a passion for urban sculpture and monumental painting.
