“I always believed that everyone has an artist hidden inside and that if you give them a good reason they are capable of doing wonderful things, and in these strange days of global lockdown, I believe that creativity can be one of the best therapies to fight anxiety and boredom.” PEJAC  

With these words, Pejac is inviting the worldwide audience to grab their pens, brushes, papers, and scissors, and join him in building a monumental opus of urban art from home.

As a way of going through lockdown in Madrid, Pejac recently revived his old concept of miniature window drawings interacting with the life outside as a way to fulfill his vital need to create. Moved by the fact that half of the world is also confined to their living space, he decided to launch an initiative on his social media. 

Through the #STAYARTHOMEPEJAC campaign, he is inviting people to join, explore their creativity, and make urban art from the safety of their homes by using the life outside as a source of inspiration and rich backdrop for the work.

After only a few days the response of the public has been overwhelming with literally hundreds of submissions being sent in from more than 50 countries worldwide and counting. Reaching places all over Spain, Italy, France, Germany, Turkey, USA, Vietnam, Iran, India, Brazil, etc, the initiative is poetically standing up to the spreading of the virus. Having a new, simple way to play and create as well as capture and share this unique historic moment seems to be providing participants the feeling of a common shelter from otherwise tough and complex reality. 

 

Please don’t be shy to explore your own potential and add your contribution to this unique creative effort! #STAYARTHOMEPEJAC
