The artist sees his city reflected in this daily routine of skateboarding, Lima is a very aggressive city where trying to be relaxed is an art. Through music, the character is abstracted and gets carried away by the feeling of skating.

Bio: Joan Jiménez Suero (37) lives and works in Lima, Peru. With a long history in the street art scene, his work has passed through countries such as Germany, France, Portugal, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, Cuba, the Dominican Republic and the entire American continent.

In his artistic practice, the roots of minority aesthetics, of the other, have been evident. Consequently, there is a presence of the symbols and signs in relation to elements that coexist within a complex city such as Lima; Violence, inequality and above all social injustice. They demand a relationship of belonging from the Latin American viewer, to the city they inhabit, within a current context. The pedagogical axis that the artist proposes transfers his interpretation into a dialogue that the city establishes with art, according to its own means of representation, such as posters, tags, scratches, phrases, etc.
