A young artist from Tolosa, only 17 years old, has created several murals in local hospitality establishments, highlighting his artistic talent and defining himself as a polymath artist.

The 17-year-old describes himself as a polymath, a person with extensive knowledge in various disciplines. In just three years, he has painted the walls of half a dozen hospitality establishments in Tolosa, showcasing his creativity and skill.
In addition to his artistic work, the young artist combines his culinary studies and was responsible for the makeup of the Ttenttek characters in this year's Carnivals, characterizing 30 people in record time. His first contact with muralism was at the Orixe center at the age of 14, with a work on Basque mythology.

"Part of my desire to acquire all the knowledge I can learn. I have never felt attracted to only one art; variety appeals to me, which is why I haven't focused solely on painting, singing, or dancing. I like to break down the branches and bring them together. I perceive an artistic point in all trades, and that's what attracts me."

His first significant project was the mural at the Amaiur bar, where he created a replica of the Amaiur castle. Subsequently, three more works followed: at the Iturri bar, depicting the San Juan festivities; at Xirimiri, illustrating the union between the Basque and Ecuadorian peoples; and another outside the town, in Beasain, at the old Amonak, featuring a Colombian landscape with coffee bushes.
His most recent and notable works are at the Alondegia bar, with paintings on two columns and an extensive mural on one of the walls, completed in April and August of last year. In these works, he depicted the old granary and society of Tolosa, and reflected the warmth of the bar with a more colorful and sober style. His next project could involve painting an 81-square-meter wall in the Belauntza fronton.
