No one is coming to Holbox for its paintings; but for its sweetness of life, its paradisiac beaches never crowded and all the protected species that can’t be find anymore on the other coasts! We are very, very far from Cancun’s mass tourism and even further from the frenetic Mexico City! But here it is; this isolated island of the Yucatan Peninsula has seen the first IPAF (International Public Art Festival) Street Art! In 2014, this festival aimed to capture the concerns and hopes of islanders by creating murals. More than 40 artists spend time on the island and left behind them a beautiful gift to residents and visitors like me.<\/p>\n

The most beautiful Maya face of Holbox done by Jace Jano<\/h4>\n

Alejandro Cervantes Gonzalez Aka \u200b\u200bJace Jano<\/strong><\/a> is a young Mexican artist born in Aguascalientes. He has painted since a young age; initiated to graffiti as a teenager; he turns to other techniques such as oil or acrylic. His work is firmly rooted in the human; he focuses on looks that go beyond the borders and believes that a better future is possible. A deeply humanistic work of great sensitivity as shown by this magnificent portrait of a young Mayan Himalayan. Done in 2014 during the International Festival of Public Art of the Mexican Caribbean after a photo of Bruno Morandi, French photographer. This sweet face with a pregnant look imprints our memory in an irreversible way! Certainly one of the most important artwork of the island. Enough important for being restored in 2018.<\/p>\n

Pinta o Muere<\/strong><\/a>; the collective that gives us to see life in colors<\/h4>\n

Paint or die! You have read the name this Mexican collective correctly!\u00a0 They are painting in the different municipalities of Quintana Roo and brighten the walls of smaller villages as highly tourist places. Their universe, often aquatic, leaves an important footprint on the island of Holbox, especially with their child looking towards the Gulf of Mexico and further … The United States. Or their frog in the main alley of the village that makes sense when the street is flooded after a beautiful rain!<\/p>
