The Muros Tabacalera is a project aimed to turn the external walls of Madrid former tobacco factory into spaces for urban art. In the first edition of May 2014 the project highlighted the concept of ‘context’ as a fundamental element of urban art. 32 street artists were called to perform 27 murals on the walls. Among them there were Por Favor and Seven Logos who participated with the mural entitled Sirena Robacorazones.
After the success of the first edition, the second edition of Muros Tabacalera took place in June 2016. One of the artists was Barbara Butragueño, a Madrid street artist and poet known as Chincheta.
Another artist was Graciela Goncalves, Argentinian street artist known as AnimalitoLand with a mural entitled Urban Nature. A child and a bag of seeds, wandering around the city. A little lost, a little vulnerable, yet a little decided and strong. And something that grows as he/she moves forward.

Brazilian Eduardo Kobra is best known for his massive-scale, brightly colored murals infused with bold lines that often portray some of the most iconic people throughout history. Kobra usually spends a lot of time in museums and libraries exploring the city’s history before he starts a new work. After he gets an idea of the history of the location, he chose an old photograph that evokes a sense of memory and nostalgia for the local community. The technique of using bright colors and repeating squares and triangles allows him to bring to life the famous people portrayed in his works.
Maya Plisetskaya, the Russian ballet dancer
When he visited the Bolshoi Documentation Center of Moscow in 2013, he fell in love with an old black and white photograph of Maya Plisetskaya, one of greatest dancer in the history of Russian ballet. From this photo he created a massively-scaled portray of Maya Plisetskaya on a wall of Moscow. Today this mural is a true memorial in honor of the Russian dancer who died in 2015 at age 89.
