El Pez (Spanish for "fish") (born 1976) is a Spanish graffiti artist.[1][2][3]
Background[edit]
Pez started painting in 1999 in his hometown Barcelona. Specifically, he got into street art writing his signature, which soon took the shape of a fish.[4] "Little by little his tags turned into the shape of a smiling blue fish, and he became a celebrity throughout Barcelona".[5]
In the early 2000s, Pez began to travel around Spain invited by graffiti contests and urban art exhibitions: Madrid, Pamplona, Las Palmas, Valencia, Bilbao, Sevilla. He was invited to show his work in art galleries: Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin and Milan.[citation needed]
In 2006, he travelled to South America to paint in Caracas, Bogota and Lima. Some months after, Pez took part in the K-Swiss Tour, a brand that leads the Asian painting market. The K-Swiss Tour brought him to Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei.[citation needed]
His works appear in the best-known street art books: Street Logos, Art of Rebellion, Street Art, Bcn New York, and in specialized magazines and internet websites. His work also appears in documentaries such as: "Bomb It-The Movie", Muros Libres", Free Walls" and "A Primer on Urban Painting".
