When it comes to street art, there are usually two different opinions. One says that we can hardly call it 'art' and that it's destroying the architecture in cities, while the other considers it art that not only colors the grayness of the concrete walls, but also gives more soul to old buildings. However, it is hard to argue about the works of one artist who is best known by the name EFIX since they actually help to 'restore' the city.

30-year-old Barcelona-based artist EFIX is not only a street artist, but also a graphic designer and musician. He uses his art to 'fix' the ugly cityscape, such as cracks in concrete walls, broken pipes, etc. His tools are his humorous cartoons and illustrations of pop culture characters who perfectly blend into walls and sidewalks, interacting with their surroundings in a completely natural way and making streets look more alive.

His career as a street artist started five years ago when he began to notice the unpleasant features of streets and buildings in Barcelona. That’s actually where his motivation and inspiration come from! EFIX decided to use his artwork to cover these unpleasant features and make his city even more beautiful. We must admit that his artwork masterfully infuses new life into unsightly objects!

The artist draws popular and easily recognizable pop culture characters that come from cartoons and that most of us associate with our childhood. From The Simpsons, Tom & Jerry, to the Lion King and Mowgli, and many more, it surely gives us that feeling of nostalgia and perfectly decorates the streets of Barcelona.

"I keep my inspiration and my skate mood, or when you skate, you take the city to your area game. And I learned art at school, I come from a big art school where you have all the people that end up at the Pixar or Disney studio," says EFIX to Bored Panda.
