Our artists Aram, Jalon, and Lucie completed the mural in the Besòs axis of the Sant Martí district of Barcelona, commissioned by the City Council. The challenge was to create a piece that would merge naturally with the urban landscape, reflecting the true essence of the neighbourhood.
Taking advantage of the unique characteristics of the Parc de la Serp and its role within the community, we designed a visual mirror: a mural that replicates neighbourhood life by depicting the diversity of people who fill it, the activities that take place there, and the essential services the space provides to citizens. The artwork celebrates the everyday richness of this urban space, making the invisible visible.
With this intervention, we expanded the visual dimensions of the street, transforming a functional public space into an immersive artistic experience. Walkers can now enjoy a new perspective of the neighbourhood as they stroll through what has become a vibrant open-air gallery. The mural stands as a testament to the power of community-commissioned public art to revitalise urban spaces and give voice to the people who inhabit them.
The project reflects Rebobinart’s commitment to creating site-specific artworks that emerge from dialogue between artists, institutions, and local communities.

Here we are! Els nostres artistes Aram, Jalon i Lucie ja han finalitzat el mural del eix besos al districte de Sant Martí.
Per encàrreg de l’ajuntament hem realitzat un mur que es fusiona amb el paisatge urbà.
Aprofitant les característiques del espai i sobretot la seva essència dins del barri hem creat un mirall, on es replica la vida del barri mostrant tot allò que forma part del espai i crea el ambient: la diversitat de persones que l’omplen, les activitats que es realitzen i el servei de la estructura a la ciutadania. Amb aquesta acció hem aconseguit ampliar les dimensions visuals del carrer i poder gaudir de una passejada per un espai nou del barri.
