Artist: @camilescruela

Born in 1990, the Barcelona artist Camil Escruela (a.k.a. Kamil and @camilescruela) is known in the world of urban art for capturing scenes around the performances of graffiti artists, everyday contemporary still lives and social issues, characteristically, playing with his characters.

 Camil has no formal education and it was in 2004 when he began participating in the world of graffiti as a result of his contact with street art in the city. Initially interested in the classic form, soon gave it up and moved to logo graffiti. Hence the artist's interest in continuing with the aesthetics of the characters derived from comic and illustration.

 Camil has been particularly interested in and influenced by great artists such as Javier Mariscal, Pablo Picasso, and the illustrator Pilarín Bayés. Some of his exhibitions are “Milenial” (2016) and “Team” (2019) at Contorno Urbano foundation. He also has taken part in group exhibitions such as “Wallspot Exhibition” (2018) at Montana Gallery, “Trajectòria” (2017) at Contrast Gallery and the collective “B-Local” (2021) at Nau Bostik.

At Spezial Editionz, we have a limited selection of art toys created and hand-finished by the very artist. In these works, @camilescruela has given life and colors to iconic trains and subways from different cities, key actors of the urban landscape and the artist's work.
