Martin Ron
Martin
Ron, born in 1981 is a painter and muralist from Caseros in the
Privince of Buenos Aires, Argentine.
From
a young age Martin became immersed in the visual arts and attending
classes of painting, drawing, comics and sculpture until he found his
vocation – painting murals and street art.
His
artworks, often described as “urban surrealism”, stand out for
their visual impact and big size. The characteristica of his work is
an incredible use of the technique of hyper-realism combined with
elements of fantasy to create unique compositions on walls and
buildings. Martin paints impossible situations that give the
impression of happening in real life (realism).
There’s
a stunning mural of Martin Ron in Buenos Aires. It features a giant
turtle flying out of a hole in the wall and an old man and his dog .
The title of the mural is ‘Pedro Luján and his Dog’. Martin
told Buenos
Aires Street Art about
its meaning and what the images represent: “Using a marine turtle
was ideal because it has the characteristics that I needed to achieve
the effect of 3-D,” said Martin. “The turtle is beautiful animal
and has a lot of colours and textures. It’s really interesting to
paint. It’s not an animal that is seen a lot and it seemed ideal to
take it out of its normal context and put on it on the walls of
Barracas.”
