‘Instagram has been my best gallery and my best representative’, Makela begins telling our clib podcast Endimoniats.
Since that online exhibition, his work began to receive commissions from celebrities such as Antoine Griezmann, Vinicius Jr. and the Mallorcan racing driver Jorge Lorenzo, becoming a benchmark for large-format contemporary art.
Makela also recalled feeling privileged for the recognition he has achieved, while at the same time vindicating the talent of many artists who remain anonymous.
The artist also spoke of his possible Guinness record for having painted the world's largest Mona Lisa, a project that exemplifies his taste for challenges and the magnitude of his work.
During the podcast he reviewed his collaborations with top brands and explained how his murals aim to be much more than decoration, functioning as a form of authentic and personal expression as well as his love for the island.
