The Kiss

Santa Cruz de Tenerife · Category: Art · Subcategory: Urban art · Year: 2024 · Authors: Alberto León

The visual and urban artist Alberto León (La Laguna, 1983) created this work titled The Kiss at the beginning of 2024. Located right on Calle del Castillo in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, the artistic intervention, as it was created, interacts effectively with the numerous passers-by who circulate there every day.

The author already has works of similar characteristics, always received with great success, in different places around the world, such as London and New York, as well as Barcelona and also in La Laguna.

The one in Santa Cruz is a male version of the theme, where a man with his eyes covered and a bouquet of flowers behind his back waits to be kissed by whoever dares. The red colour, found only in the ribbon and the flowers, highlights the concept of the positive message.

 Unlike traditional murals that require hours of work with brushes and aerosols, for The Kiss the author used a digital technique that allows him to create and paste his work in fifteen minutes. This means that his mural can be easily moved to another wall at any time.

Alberto León and his work stand out for their enormous popularity wherever they are installed. The feeling inspired by this street art piece is universal and shared by everyone.
