I recently got a commission for painting a mural in a brand new Spanish restaurant in Dubai, Salero.

Spanish food is great, I feel far from home, the restaurant looks great and they pay good, so why not.
I been locked for some days sketching and listening to my favorite flamenco songs while working in a proposal based in Flamenco music and Spanish lifestyle, since I feel very related with both. This main mural is a scene of a Soleá por Bulerías, one of the multiple kinds of flamenco music, where Soleares (Soleá, a sad type of song) and Bulerías (a happy, speedy and party type of song) are mixed. 
They say they loved my proposal, so we instantly set everything up to start as soon as possible. Since I was looking for a clean result I decided working with brush and acrylic paint instead of spray paint or marker. I hope you like it, Olé.
