Escif astounds the whole world by portraying social criticism in an esthetically stunning way. Minimalism and pure elegance with a message, designed to rouse the public. Escif’s identity remains a mystery. In Valencia, however, you may have the chance to spot him. Ordinarily, this street artist only paints in the streets of his beloved Spanish town. However, he gladly makes an exception for Ostend.
Escif painted two murals in Ostend. The first one is of a small dog and holds the message ‘Save the planet’. He calls it his most politically charged work. This perspective is somewhat humorously self-deprecating, as most of his other work is even more politically potent. Escif wants the freedom to interpret art to be unchecked; the artist’s opinion is of no importance. His other composition is a un-contoured drawing of Tintin with the message ‘No borders’.
