CCC's Street Art Contest #267 - A Self-Taught Artist / Un Artista Autodidacta
English
A Self-Taught Artist
Wolfgang Salazar, known on social media under the pseudonym Badsura, is a Venezuelan muralist born in Caracas. He stands out as a self-taught artist, notable for his large-scale paintings, infused with his Latin American roots, taking into account the social, cultural, historical, and personal ideas of his surroundings. He paints his canvases on abandoned walls, giving them a chance to relive their lives. They become recognizable places, allowing citizens captivated by the colors to pause for a moment and visualize the reality of their country or identify with its culture and environment.

Sus lienzos los plasma en paredes abandonadas, dándoles la oportunidad de una nueva vida, donde se convierten en lugares reconocidos, permitiendo a los ciudadanos atrapados por los colores, detenerse por momentos y visualizar la realidad de su país o identificarse con su cultura y ambiente.

His art has transcended other countries, becoming a benchmark for contemporary urban art. On the cultural front, he has sought to highlight the faces of great Venezuelan artists who have brought their songs to other lands, and as a tribute to them, portraits of iconic figures stand out on the walls of our nation. All of these artistic works can be seen on his social media, a large art gallery that he showcases.

En la parte cultural ha querido resaltar los rostros de grandes artistas venezolanos que han llevado su canto a otras tierras, y como un homenaje a ellos en las diversas paredes de nuestra nación destacan los retratos de personajes icónicos. Todos estos trabajos artísticos los podemos ver en sus redes sociales, una gran galería de arte que nos muestra en ellas.
