Furthermore, Pelayo addresses the issue of gentrification and the encroachment of large corporations into impoverished communities. These communities, predominantly inhabited by the less fortunate, bear witness to the overwhelming presence of advertisements for major brands such as Pepsi, Nike, and gas companies. This reality is one that only those who experience poverty can truly comprehend.
In paying homage to Renaissance art, the artist incorporates elements of realism and religious iconography into his works. It is worth noting that five centuries ago, such art was exclusively accessible to the wealthy, who could commission paintings. However, with the advent of graffiti, a form of artistic expression born from the hands of the poor, art became accessible to all. Interestingly, in the present day, even the affluent are embracing and purchasing graffiti art.
Ultimately, "Urban Symphony" explores the stark contrast between different social classes, highlighting the interplay between faith, identity, and the commercialization of art.
