These two murals are the result of community-driven anthropological analysis of the surrounding areas of the East Lake Marta Station. Conversations were held and objects were gathered as a way to speak of the history of the neighboring communities and give access to the people to tell their own stories.
Nicolás Romero Escalada, also known as Ever Siempre and often shortened as Ever, is an Argentinan street artist who was born in Buenos Aires in 1985. Ever Siempre started painting graffiti in Buenos Aires in the 1990s, first starting with letter-based works and later including portraits of people influenced by the great Gustav Klimt, Vincent Van Gogh, and Francis Bacon.
Ever’s focus is the common human subject. He embraces the beauty of man while masterfully intertwining elements of raunchiness and vulgarity to depict his culture’s abrasive nature.
“These points of connection will represent a cross-section of the anthropology of East Lake. The project relies on interaction as a mechanism for generating meaning. The observer completes the construction of the piece when they enter into dialogue with the elements and items that are from their own daily life.”
