Appreciation towards PEJAC for providing the following description:

如果说有一位艺术家能够在室内和室外的实践中无缝切换，Pejac的名字将立刻浮现在人们脑海。继2021年底在柏林广受好评的第四次个展后，2022年，这位艺术家又在马德里街头展开了创作。

If ever there were an artist capable of switching seamlessly between indoor and outdoor practice, Pejac would instantly spring to mind. Following his much-acclaimed fourth solo show in Berlin at the end of 2021, he kicked off 2022 working on the streets of Madrid.

在城市空间工作时，Pejac的与众不同之处便在于他能够在没有诗歌的地方找到诗歌。在马德里Carabanchel社区的新作品便凝聚了Pejac创作的精髓。这是一个位于城市南部的传统工人阶级社区，也是首都最多元化的地区之一。为了向当地居民致敬，Pejac创作了一幅充满超现实主义色彩的极简主义壁画，作品绘制在新VETA画廊的侧壁上，这里是社区正在经历的文化和艺术转型的象征。

When working in the urban space, one of the elements that most distinguishes Pejac is his ability to find poetry where there is none and this is the essence of his latest intervention in the Carabanchel neighborhood in Madrid, literally. Located in the south of the city, this traditionally working-class neighborhood is one of the most diverse areas of the capital. Paying homage to the local residents, Pejac has created a minimalist artwork charged with surrealism, a piece that spreads over the side wall of the new VETA Gallery – a symbol of the cultural and artistic transformation that the neighborhood has undergone in recent times.

创作中，艺术家不仅拒绝修复缺乏价值的物品，还精心增强了墙壁的不完美之处。为了使人们的注意力集中在已经存在的事物上，Pejac仅在墙壁纹理上谨慎添加了微小触感。

With his intervention, the artist not only resists restoring that which appears to lack value, but also carefully enhances the imperfections of the wall. With the goal of focussing attention on what already exists, Pejac deemed it sufficient to add discreet touches to the existing texture of the wall.

在油漆脱落的墙体上，艺术家描绘了一小群人，作为一个整体，他们以有组织的方式使这些“空白空间”成为有价值的物品。通过艺术干预，Pejac旨在邀请Carabanchel的居民以自豪和全新的视角看待墙体上破碎的油漆。赞美真实的东西，或者这正是艺术家歌颂社区及其居民历史的一种方式。

Next to the areas of the wall where the paint has fallen off, the artist has depicted tiny groups of people who, in a collective and organized way, carry these “empty spaces” as if they were valuable objects. With this artistic intervention, Pejac invites the residents of Carabanchel to look at these patches of broken paintwork with pride and a fresh perspective. Perhaps it is his way of singing the praises of the history of the neighborhood and its residents, of what is authentic.
