The urban landscape of Cartagena has recently been graced with a captivating new addition: "Layers," a vibrant mural by Fabrizio Sarti, known in the art world as SeaCreative. This striking piece is part of the One Urban World 2024 festival's mural painting section, showcasing the dynamic interplay of urban art and the city's rich cultural heritage.
SeaCreative's artistic journey began in the early 1990s, rooted in the world of writing and propelled by an irrepressible passion for drawing. By the early 2000s, his relentless stylistic exploration led to the creation of SeaCreative, a unique blend of urban art, illustration, and graphic design. Over the past two decades, SeaCreative has collaborated with a diverse array of brands, galleries, associations, municipal administrations, and private entities, significantly impacting the global art scene.

An Artistic Dialogue with Cartagena
As part of the One Urban World 2024 festival, "Layers" contributes to a broader conversation about the role of art in urban environments. The festival aims to celebrate and promote urban art, bringing together artists worldwide to transform public spaces with their creativity. SeaCreative's mural exemplifies this mission, demonstrating how art can transcend boundaries and connect communities through its layers of creativity and expression.
SeaCreative's work in Cartagena is more than just a mural; it's a vibrant dialogue between the artist's evolving style and the city's historical and cultural landscape. The mural bridges past and present, tradition and innovation, offering viewers a chance to explore and interpret its many layers.
A Celebration of Creativity and Community
"Layers" is a perfect example of how one can bring art to community members and make cities more welcoming and engaging. This way, being able to turn a part of a passive public space into a temporary work of art, SeaCreative has not only provided a piece to walk around, to think about, and to marvel at but also to play with. From this point of view, the mural contributes to the aesthetic feature of the urban environment and, at the same time, promotes residents of Cartagena ownership.
As SeaCreative experiments with new and brighter ways of influencing the urban art scenario of the world, his artwork depicts the inspiring wall of Cartagena. Each of the poems reminds the reader of the crucial aesthetic sense, especially in the construction of our cities and the embrace of art and culture in Cartagena.
The sleek imagery of 'Layers' by SeaCreative still stands out in the welcoming lush city of Cartagena, where its essence continues to spread its joyous and artistic appeal and calls upon every passer-by to read its story.
