About the Artist:
It’s Mancho is a Colombian urban artist born in Bogotá. Trained in graphic design, in 2016 she moved to Madrid, Spain, where she discovered her true passion for illustration and public art. At first, she feared not being able to find her own style, but she soon realized that artistic identity is a living, constantly evolving process. By exploring various techniques and mediums, she began developing a visual language that combines color, graphic strength, and narratives rich in symbolism.
Her work draws from her emotions, personal experiences, and themes that deeply resonate with her: migration, feminist struggles, Afro-descendant culture, environmental protection, and, most especially, her love for cats.
Since 2017, Mancho has been fully dedicated to urban art, adopting spray paint as her primary tool. Her creative process begins in the digital realm, where she develops sketches and compositions that she later brings to life on a large scale—on walls, facades, or storefronts. For her, the most powerful moment is when the artwork comes alive in public space, becoming a point of connection and engagement with the community.
She has participated in numerous urban art festivals and projects, leaving her mark in various cities around the world. Whenever she travels, she seeks to intervene in the environment—whether with a large-scale mural, a stencil, or small street stickers—as a form of visual dialogue with the place.
In addition to her street work, Mancho also produces pieces in a variety of formats: canvases, screen prints on paper and fabric, digital illustrations, customized clothing, and other creations that expand her artistic language beyond the walls.
