PAINTED STORIES
After 15 years of experience, we have developed our own mechanics for painting murals that includes three specific elements: the context, the story and the image.
In this way, before starting to design, we immerse ourselves in the space that will be intervened: we read for a while about the context, we listen to their stories and we listen to the testimonials that come our way. We are very careful to unravel the stories that surround the wall and that define it.
Then we embark on the journey of creating a story that lasts and moves. A story that allows the mural to survive time and be sown in the eyes of passers-by. Words not only precedes the form, it also gives it life in the imagination.
Finally, we let the alternatives of possible images emerge and compete with each other. Each option has merits and challenges, and it is in that final struggle that we decide what to paint. If we do not reach a satisfactory result (sometimes this is the case) we start over.
After all, that's what mechanics are for.

Having painted large format murals we had the chance to travel the world. To the date we have created works in Belgium, Canada, Jordan, Turkey, El Salvador, Brazil, the United States, Spain and Korea. These experiences have allowed us recognize both the beauty like the affliction of the world but above all, he has crossed our paths with people and institutions who try, with their actions, to improve the welfare of their communities and countries.

VERTIGO ART GALLERY
In 2016, with the exhibition Los Emergentes, Vértigo Graffiti inaugurated its gallery focused on street and contemporary art, which to date has promoted the work and careers of graffiti artists with regular exhibition and marketing events of artistic objects that include canvases, metals, serigraphs, photographs and engravings among others. The vast majority of exhibited works are available for sale at our store or by mail vertigograffiti@gmail.com
With the arrival of the 2020 pandemic, and in search of alternatives to stay afloat in the face of the different confinements, we inaugurated our virtual gallery supported by our social networks. Once these circumstances were overcome, we decided to continue with both the events and the virtual exhibitions Actually, we opened an Instagram Exhibition named Breathe with 15 artworks by Ecks and Word.
Along the same lines, the Vertigo Graffiti gallery has launched three serigraphic works derived from his mural works in Bogotá (Invisible Kisses), Belgium (Shared Look) and Turkey (Sister) and one in special collaboration with Pez Barcelona, called 13 Stars.
In the last few months we have inaugurated three exhibitions, The New Wave, a retrospective of the work of Pez Barcelona, an individual show by Ricardo Vásquez (Yurika) that we baptized "Esquirlas" and another collective one, with the participation of ten Colombian plastic artists, among whom was Santiago Castro (Word) who was called Entresijos..
