A few days ago, talking with David about “Performance Art” , I mentioned the street artists that used to perform in La Zona Rosa in Mexico City, using enamel spray paints and a fire finish their paintings. Today I stumble upon this video of Janez Jevnikar using this technique.

From his website

“AEROSOLGRAFIA” is a fascinating painting technique, known for its strong color contrasts and almost fairytale-like, fantasy motifs. The tecnique developed in Mexico in the late 1980-ies and spread all over the world.

Happy New Year!!

• you have a website about caffeine
• you’re on a first name basis with Juan Valdez
• your heart beats noticeably faster as a reaction to the smell of coffee……
