Synopsis

This painting is part of “As Estrelas do Camiño”, an art exhibition that highlights the “human factor” as a crucial element in preserving the Camino de Santiago down to the present day. On this occasion, the artist Mon Devane pays tribute to the Canadian writer Laurie Dennett, the author of nine books and numerous translations, who, with her radio broadcasts and journalistic articles written during her travels, encouraged people to send donations to national multiple sclerosis associations in twelve countries.

Bio

Mon Devane is an urban artist born in Ourense who has been using spray paint as the main tool in his artistic work since 2003. With deep graffiti roots, he started out from the old school, exploring different possibilities through shapes, letters, etc. However, the incessant search for his own style resulted in a period in which his work acquired a realistic nature. Mon Devane’s work is characterised by his realistic and monochromatic photographic style. He works in large formats, where every detail is magnified, endeavouring to convey views that relate things, lives, traditions, and stories. His customary themes are traditional ones, since he likes to tell stories and speak about the local traditions of the area where he works with his murals.
