Belin

Born in the Andalusian city of Linares, Belin began his art training at the José Nogué school located in Jaén. He dropped out of school shortly after because the arts provision was outdated and he started training himself by visiting libraries, museums and cathedrals. At the age of 15, he started spray painting after drawing on paper and began experimenting by painting in the street of his hometown. This was the start of his association with the art world, using the persecuted graffiti of the 90s, bombarding the neighborhoods of his own city with signatures and lettering. His sole purpose at the time was to make money to buy materials for painting and that is how he perfected the spray technique that has made him recognized worldwide. During that period the authorities in his hometown were unappreciative of the work he was doing.
