Although you don’t like labels, Pejac It is considered the ‘Spanish bansky’. Silvestre Santiago was born in Santander in 1977 and here he keeps his studio, although the space in which he best develops and expresses himself is the street.
Pejac He is considered one of the best exponents of urban art and his works are part of the landscape of cities around the world, from Hong Kong to New York, passing through Moscow, London or Istanbul.
In Santander it has also left its mark, although the paradox exists that Some of his first creations were erased at a stroke by the cleaning services of the City Council of the Cantabrian capital.
Pejac has temporarily returned to Cantabria to participate in a project called “Mina de Oro”, which has been developed in the El Dueso Penitentiary Center (Santoña) and in which the inmates themselves have collaborated.
Little given to interviews, Pejac has made an exception with the SER channel and the program ‘A Vivir que son dos Días Cantabria’ to talk to us about how that artistic and vital experience has been.
The project is made up of three pieces that represent the passage of time, freedom, the value of the human condition and its resistance to adversity.
Pejac continues on his way, but recognizes that this vital experience has been a turning point in his artistic career. His next ‘stop’ will be New York where he is preparing an exhibition for next year.
